Can anyone tell me if TS185 wheels might fit in a DR400 or SP370?
A long shot, I know...............
thanks in advance.

i know TS250 rear wheel might as they use the same sprockets as SP370
SP370 rear axle is common to 59 different models of suzukis.
TS185 will have a rim too narrow for SP. 185 rim would be 1.85. You would want a 2.15 for a 370

Even if it fits, would it be strong enough?

Oh and the DR uses a bigger wheel spindle so you'll need spacers in the swingarm slots if you are using a standard swing arm. More to the point, you'll need to check how far off centre the respective gearbox sprockets are. The DR and SP are identical

Tony I'd reckon the wheels would be strong enough but I can't say the same about the braking performance

Thanks fellas.
I really only planned to use the rear hub, so rim width and braking performance wouldn't be important. Sorry, should have been more specific.
