    Hi, anyone looked at going wider on a original sporty custom rear wheel.

    Currently running a Dunlop 130/90/16    How much wider can you go.....

    Metzler do a 140

    Dunlop 150,  Dealer says it can vary from brands.

    cheers.

    Pan, I will send you an article from the XLforum regarding wheel increase. You can put a 18 x 4.25 rear wheel on a sporty with no issues! Looks shit hot as well!
