Rear Tire/Rim: Which look do you like?

[gamorg02]

I have my doubts on fitting a 190 because my swingarm is a bit different from the norm. It was shifted to the left, extended, with NO notch.

Time will tell.

i feel like a 180 might be tough with what you described.

I thought the same thing but Sean has done a couple of these before and said a 180 fits without issues using an off the shelf, aftermarket rim.

Sean said that when you shift the arm to the left the driveshaft ends up closer to the notch so there is really no room left to make the notch any deeper.

Yeah, if you notch it too deep you'll do a Lankee.

If you like the look of the stocker don't ever ride a max with radials. I made that mistake about a month ago thanks to Garrett. Now I can't wait to get them on my baby. I have a lot of research to do and need to save up some $$ but I will definately have some by next spring. The difference is unbelievable. My winter project is radials, suspension, and a Morley jet kit.

I'm looking for a little more tire on the rear. I can change the rear swing arm for the notched and braced kind. I will retain the original rim. I just like that soild looking wheel! How big should I go for to give it a little more traction with out making its handle any worse. I've been told 200, but I'm not sure what that is going to be translate too in performance vs ride-ability.

 

[gamorg02]

you can't go much larger than 170 on the OEM rim.

I like the big tire look also but wanted radials, the 18" wheels retain the stock tire dia and keep the ground clearance as high as possilble. i hate dragging things! These Carrozeria's are my second time around for wheels, i like the look.
