Z50 Wheels on an XR50?????

Is it possibale to put Z50 wheels and tires on a 2003 XR50. I know it's just a matter of time before I break one of my wheels.

You would need to swap out the XR forks for Z forks. For the rear you'd have to go with an XR 70 or some other extended swingarm for tire clearance. Probably cheaper to upgrade the stock wheels after you add in the cost of new hubs, rims, and I'm not sure if the brakes will swap out.
