Default 260 tire on Rocker

Does anyone know if a 260 metzler tire would fit on the rocker with no problem???

a 260 will not fit without modifications. Largest you can go is a 250/40-18 and it will fit on your&nbsp\\;5.5" rim.

Greetings,
&nbsp\\;
Interesting...Are there any swingarms out there yet that will let you run a wider rim and tire?

Would the 250 still fit under the fender??

Same here.&nbsp\\; Interested in trying the 250 on the stock "C" rim.&nbsp\\; What kind of mileage are you guys getting on the stock tire?&nbsp\\; I have just a little over 2,000 m8iles on mine and it's not looking like this tire is going to get that much more traveling out of it.

Rear rim on the Rocker is 18" X 8", not 5.5".&nbsp\\;I put the stock 240 tire on an 18" X 8.5" aftermarket chrome rim and there is not much clearance left. I checked and there is about 1/16" clearance between the tire and the drive belt.
