    I've seen a lot of guys putting the DNA mammoth on their rockers and was wondering if anyone has put the traditional spoke wheels on and what if any issues they had fitting them?

    The wheel I was looking at was this one http://dnaspecialty.com/60-spoke/

    Thanks,

    Matt.

    it depends on weather you are goin to keep the 19"wheel  or go bigger ,.the rocker has a mid glide front end which I think would probably only be good for the 19 x 2.15/ 60 spoke wheel, if you went to a 21" or 23" possibly wouldn`t fit .your OEM front guard would need modifying, brake calipers would need shimming... my mate put a 23" on his Rocker with a DNA inverted front end ,performance Machine 6 piston calipers & a bigger front  fender. We did all the work which saved him heaps of coin but  it was a major head ache shimming everthing & getting  wheel spacers just right...my advice is do your homework get hub measurements & work out spacing & good luck

    Hey thanks Gidgi. I probably should have specified it was the back I was looking at doing. I've got a 21x3.5 on the front with the HHI wide glide trees. Looks awesome and now wanna get a matching wheel for the back. I had all the front end done in the workshop but now wanna save some coin doing it myself. I've emailed the guys at DNA about fitment and they say I can "probably" use my existing pulley and rotor with their 18x8.5 60 spoke. he guys at HDwheels do some great looking spoked wheels for the rocker and I'd probably go for those but I think the front wheel is DNA (no brand name on it) so I wanna get match for the back.

    The old stock wheel looks a bit sad on the ass now.
