Help!! - Will a 200mm tire fit a stock 17" FXDC rim?
I am converting my tires to Whitewalls. I changed the front, but I had alot of problems finding a 17" rim version. I finally found the VEE RUBBER VRM-302R. Their only 17" version is a 200mm. I have a 180mm Screaming Eagle with no clearance issue. I wanted to check if no mods are required to go bigger to a 200mm. Has someone put a 200mm on their scoot?
Also I heard bad news about Vee Rubber Whitewalls looking cream colored. The dealer states those issues are now fixed and showed me the tire available. Looks bright white to me but I did not pull the trigger until I confirmed fit.

Thanks
Thanks for the info.
The standard wheel width is not sufficient to "safely" take a 200mm. It is possible to fit it but not advisable. I took my original hub and had new rims laced onto them made spacing a lot easier - I went with 18x5.75 should have gone with. 17 as there a lot more tyre choices - live and learn
