Has anyone laced a rear rim onto a front hub for an America?
I am thinking about doing that to lower the front of a bike and give it that fat look. low fat fender and fat white wall.

 I don't think he used a rear hub, I think he laced a 3.5" rim to a standard hub. Also if I remember correctly this is a 16" wheel with a 150 tire. Ian I might be wrong but I don't think you have enough room between the forks and where the sprocket bolts on the rear hub to mount it up front.

I meant a stock front hub with rear rim or 16" compatable rim
I was just being lazy so I didn't have to figure it out. I was looking for what spokes I need.
Cool let me know Benny.
