BMX has a rear spacing of 110mm, same as Keirin frames...you could build a new wheel with a very expensive hub. You could go with a coaster brake hub if you want to skid.

Why do you want to go fixed on a BMX?
You have to be buy expensive hub if you want to go completely fixed on a BMX...
If you want to skid, then all you need is a coaster hub wheel.
