Default 200mm tire on Fatbob
Has anyone put a 200mm rear tire on their Fatbob will it fit with factory rim and Without any other mods? If I can just swap the tire out from the 180/70-16 what would be the equivalent in a 200 series tire? Thanks

Use the aspect that gets you the same size diam as the original tire. FXDF rims are 16"
