YZ125d/e/f, IT175 same, DT125/175 early monoshock models etc
you may need slightly different wheel collars/spacers to suit the slight difference in offset but it'd be worth the fiddle...
i run a YZ125D set~up in my 125X and even went to the trouble of welding a slipper tab on the swingarm for the brake backing plate to do away with the brake tourque arm.
makes wheel removal much easier :)

Only the YZ125X has a YZ125X wheel (erm, and probably the YZ100 of same era).

125C wheel puts the sprocket to far to the right.
YZ125D+ (etc) puts the sprocket to far to the left.
The later wheel can be easily machined down to 26mm (from the inside of the spoke flange to the sprocket mounting face) to work on an X - funny thing is that you'll find the "1G8" prefix cast into the later hub.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.
