    Hi all! 
    Time for another silly question of the day that I haven't been able to get a straight answer from the dealer.. or anyone.. 
    I am looking into modding rear end of my bike and wanted to first establish what size would be the widest tyre my 3 inch rear rim will take. 

    Currently it has factory 150 tyre installed. 

    Thank you look forward to your experience and knowledge.

    I will update how I went anyway, just in case someone was after the same info. 

    I'm happy to report 180 / 70 -16 tyre successfully replaced my factory 150 / 80 -16 tyre on 3 inch wide rim. Same tube was used.  
    Note, ill be fabricating my own rear fender to suit.
