Are tou sure ??
Supermotos like Husaberg have 160 rear tires on 5'' wheels.......http://www.husaberg.se/Specifications.95.0.html
I was told that 5'' is perfect for a 160 tire.
So a 170 on a 5.5'' ?? |

Tubers ran 5" wheel's and 170's on them.... correct tire to rim size.
XB's run 5.5"wheel's and 180's on them.... correct tire to rim size. |

Yeah but what do all those dumb engineers know anyway ? I think someone should come up with a 40" stretched and widened swingarm (with a jack-shaft) capable of running a 360 series tire. With a little extra room incase anyone makes or will be making fatter tires. That would be tuff! Maybe some blinking lights in there too ? Those are cool right ?

Nice job Rieguy.

i'll get some clearance pics today, there isn't much clearance, it's a special dunlop made for harley davidson 200/55/17. I think it's the only mfg. out there in that size. |

Hey Rieguy187 did you use the stock rim for that 200 tire? |

I was gonna say... When upped the tire on my XL to a 160, they recommended a 4.25" wheel. |
