Smile 150 on 05 EG ???
I have an 05 EG, changed my rear wheel to 18 x 5.5, running 140 metz now and would like to go to a 150 metz. I cut my belt gaurd to accomodate the extra width from the OEM 130 to 140 no problems.
Any comments on fitment issues. I know the 5.5 wheel will work for the 150 just curious about problems encountered going to a 150 with a stock 05 rear end.
Thanks
Mike

Did the 150 install on the 18 x 5.5. Trimmed the belt guard and installed a .125" pulley spacer. All is well.
