I am pretty sure that the SSie rear axle is 17mm. I will check in the morning. 900ssie/1000ssie/Monster S4 five spokers all fit. I've used all of them for my 800ss race bike. Also 3 spoke wheels fit too. Both sets of wheels (3 spoke & 5) fit both the 1000ss/800ss (02/03) style swinging arm and the older steel swinging arm.
IIRC the 900ssie chassis uses an underslung rear caliper - this may have some effect upon wheel choices, but I don't think so. I suspect the wheels I have listed will fit your swinging arm.

I have 3 sets of wheels - if you can get yourself and bike up here you are free to check fitments using mine to ensure you don't make any expensive mistakes!

OK, thanks for the replies everyone. My information about spindle size changes came from the Carozzeria website, where I was looking for aftermarket wheels. On this page, there's a drop down that seems to suggest a spindle size change:

AK - I have one forged all 999R front wheel. If it doesn't fit, I'd be happy to discuss PX. What type of wheel is your carbon on?

Twpd - Thanks for the offer. I've already made some expensive mistakes with these 999 wheels and I honestly don't think I'll have time to get the bike to you before racing (March 28-29)

Phil thats the front wheel spindle sizes, forks with the 40mm mounts would come with 17mm or later 20mm spindles, the Forks from about 1999 onwards with the 65mm caliper spacing came with the 25mm spindle as found in 748/916/996s etc

Hmmm, if you look at the drop down it shows:
20mm Front / 17mm Rear (94-99)
25mm Front / 17mm Rear (00-01)
25mm Front / 25mm Rear (02+)
That seems to indicate to me a change on the rear size too.

Certainly applies to the Monster range as they went to a 25mm rear spindle in 2002

Which is why I ask about whether 5 spoke ally wheels (from say a 2002 900ssie or a 2003 1000ssie) would fit fit a '98 900ssie swingarm. Perhaps there are different size 5 spoke wheels (SS vs Monster) just to confuse things further......

[skidlids]

I will be able to confirm later when I get home if the rear 5 spoke from a 2002 900SSie will fit the earlier arm as I have both arms in the workshop and will be able to compare the spindle diameter as well as the width across the inside of the arm.
