Modern 2.2in Wheel Conversion for the YZ-870C

The Yokomo YZ-821-2 front wheels update your YZ-870C from the original 1.9-inch era to accept current 2.2-inch tyres, bringing your classic chassis in line with modern tyre availability. This change opens up a wider tyre selection for club racing and casual running.

Improved Traction and Handling

Fitting the YZ-821-2 lets you use contemporary tread compounds and profiles, helping increase grip on loose dirt and carpet surfaces while keeping the YZ-870C hub character. The larger outer diameter supports 2.2in tyres without altering the wheel mounting layout.

Fitment and Setup Advice

When moving up to 2.2in tyres, check your gear ratio and consider a smaller pinion to retain acceleration and motor safety. The wheels are supplied without vent holes so you can drill or ream holes where needed to match your cooling preferences.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Will these wheels bolt straight onto my YZ-870C hubs?

These wheels are made to fit the YZ-870C mounting pattern, so they install using the stock hub hardware without modification in most builds.

Which tyres should I try first on the 2.2in wheels?

Start with a medium compound tyre for the surface you run most often; medium dirt tyres or carpet-specific 2.2in tyres give a good balance while you sort gearing and setup.

Do I need special tools to add airflow holes?

Basic hobby tools like a small drill or a taper reamer work fine to add air holes. Drill carefully and test fit tyres as you go to avoid weakening the wheel.
