Seeking rear wheel advice

[drewfinn]

Hiya Folks! Does anyone out there know of an 18" wheel that I can swap directly to my 1980 Suzuki GS250? The stock size is a 17 and I'm absolutely clueless in this area. Thanks for your time and expertise!

It would be way easier to have wheel rebuilt with an 18" rim than find an 18"wheel from something else to fit.
If you have mechanical ability and machine shop, just about anything can be made to fit anything else. If not, spending more than you want to to get what you want is the easiest way.

The latter of the two seems to be the way I end up doing things...Thank you...I guess maybe I'll run it for a year on the stock rear and see how I feel about it.

Yup - run it as it was engineered to be. Nothing wrong with getting an 18" rim and new spokes at some point - that will 100% be the easiest way to make the swap and you get new spokes in the deal.
