Z250 rims on a 440ltd

Hello everyone, I finally got my 440 running, series of unfortunate events, but I figured it out.

Looking to fit a z250 belt drive drum brake rim on a kz440 belt drive drum brake bike. Moving from a 16 rear to a 18 rear.

Cant find part numbers to cross reference if it will fit, can one of you help me out?

Thanks

I promise I wont make it a cafe racer if you help me out.

I just took a quick look at the parts cross reference lists at Partzilla for the rear wheel assembly. I checked axle, bearings, spacers, brake parts, drive belt and drive belt pully, and I found not one single part in common with the 250. That suggests to me that some fabrication will be needed to make that swap, maybe quite a bit.

Maybe you've already considered this, but if you're looking to switch to an 18" Rr wheel, you could get a chain drive 440 Rr & do the belt-to-chain conversion. It's supposed to be a direct swap.
