Nope.... all of us have researched it, extensively.... those who have whitewalls have either resigned themselves to changing rim size or using whitewall paint

I was doing the same thing you are ... The stock bob wheel is a 17x4.5 so I wanted to stay a similair width 16 inch rim and run a 160 white wall . I bought a rim off ebay 16x4.25 and then I started looking for tires . I was floored that the biggest I have found is a 150/90 .

the best cheapest route , I think, would be buyinga later 16 inch dyna or sporty rear wheel and lacing in your rear hub and running the 150 rear whitewall . It wont look MUCH different from behind as a 160 .
