If the axle size and disc offset are the same it is very easy to make some wheel spacers to suit.

If you don't fall off you are not going hard enough

there you go then, talke your bike to a machine shop and have them make you the two spacers


if your a newb and they need to measure everything for you it might be 2 hrs of their time so maybe $100-150 bucks :)

but if you know someone with a lathe it will only cost you some beers!

That's all good advice.If you don't have a friend with a lathe,find one and make him your friend-and ply him with booze.
My first KTM ('99)had spacers made of cheese(as they did for years afterwards)The seal would groove them in a couple rides and dirt/water would eat the bearings.
My buddy with a lathe machined them down and pressed a thin stainless sleeve over where the seal sat.(this was before hardened spacers were available aftermarket)That was the end of the problem and they're still going strong.Total investment-a flat of Moosehead-most of which I drank myself while taking it all in. :D

I'd rather a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

Before doing any of that I'd check that the wheel offsets are the same between the RM and the RMZ, if not then your just wasting your time, send 'em back and get the correct RM ones.
