Lawn Mower Wheels Kit 8" Compatible with Honda HRN216 Walk Behind LawnMower, Front Wheels 44710-VR8-N00ZA and Rear Wheels 42710-VR8-N00ZA

What It Is

This is a complete 4-wheel replacement kit for the Honda HRN216 walk-behind mower, including two front wheels (44710-VR8-N00ZA) and two rear wheels (42710-VR8-N00ZA). It restores worn, cracked, or seized wheels to factory-spec rolling performance.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact fit: Honda HRN216 models only (not HRX, HRR, or other series). Verify your mower’s model plate under the rear flap or on the deck.
• OEM part numbers: Front 44710-VR8-N00ZA, Rear 42710-VR8-N00ZA. Aftermarket kits often list these numbers—confirm yours match exactly.
• Wheel size: 8-inch diameter on both axles. Measure your current wheel outer diameter to be sure.
• Axle type: Push-style axles with retaining clips. No ball bearings—these are bushing-type wheels. Check that your axle shafts aren’t bent or rusted before installing.
• Deck clearance: 8-inch wheels fit the HRN216 deck without rubbing. Do not assume compatibility with other Honda 8-inch wheel models.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs. OEM: This aftermarket kit is about 30-40% cheaper than genuine Honda parts. Some users report slightly softer plastic hubs that may crack under heavy yard debris or frequent curb drops.
• Installation difficulty: Easy—remove the old wheel clip, pull the wheel off, slide the new wheel on, and reinstall the clip. No tools required beyond a flathead screwdriver for the clip.
• Common gotcha: The rear wheels have a different hub offset than the fronts. Do not mix them up—the rear wheels sit closer to the deck. Label each wheel before removing.
• Lubrication: Apply a dab of grease or WD-40 to the axle bushing before installation to reduce squeaking and extend wheel life. This is often missed.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Honda HRN216 and your current wheels are wobbly, cracked, or won’t roll smoothly, this kit is a solid budget fix. It’s not as durable as genuine Honda wheels, but for casual residential mowing on flat lawns, it’ll get you rolling again for half the cost. Skip it if you mow rough terrain or need maximum longevity—go OEM instead.
