Should have clarified, 180 is "all the way" in the stock swingarm. But other than spacers and a wider fender it is that simple, I just did it.

It's not going to look like a 200, but it will fill up the fender and there is a noticeable difference.

The 150 Avon is actually about 157mm wide, while your 130 Dunlop is around 133mm I believe. So the difference in width is about 24mm or 15/16inch.
