Rear Tire Size?
I'm getting ready to change my wheels to some PM Torque's. They should look sweet. My question is that I currently have 16's on the rears, but the new PM rear wheel is an 18. Current tire size is 150/80/16. What would be the correct sized replacement for the rear, only in an 18?
Not that it makes any difference, but the front is a 100/90/19.
Thanks.

you havent said if youve contacted pm... or have had the dealer you getting the wheels from look into it. thats probable the easiest and safest way to go. also changing to an 18 isnt going to lower the bike.

Am I understanding this correctly?
On a side note, I haven't contacted PM just yet, but will if necessary.

Just what I was looking for. According to this, the largest I can go would be a 160/60/18 without any modifications. I thought that to get the sidewall height, in this case, you'd take 60% of the tread width 160, and that gives you the height in mm. So if that were the case, then the height would be 96mm? Same math, I have 117mm sidewall height with the 150/80/16, which is taller.

160x.6=96...

not quite exact because of the curvature of the tire but total height before should be about 25.4 inches. new height would be about 25.56 inches so not a big difference in height, but would probably look sick on your bike. Go for it.
