Default How Fat...

I bought PM wheels for my 07. I went from a 17" to an 18" rear wheel. The 17 has a "160" on it; how fat can I go with the 18" without having to buy a "fat kit"?

Jake -
Sorry - don't know the answer but from what I've read - a 180 will fit inside the fender. Might have to flare the fender to make a 200 fit.

Really just wanted to comment on your bike - It looks great! New wheels would make it even better!

PM should of been able to tell you that, both PM and Rc along with Bikers image told me what size tires would fit on which rims. YOu might have to go to a 55 series tire also. I'd go metzlers all the way.
