RE: 240mm pros/cons
Do not go there. I made the mistake and I suffering. I had to change the front tyre to a 19' to be able to get some proper turning power. The problem sinks in as soon as you go on a slow turn. The bike does not want to get up and you have to pull it. If you want you can change to a 18' rim with a metzeler which looks fatter and you will make the bike better than stock.

It handles perfect for me, and I couldn't be happier!
I guess the only con would be that I went with a PM kit instead of a Heartland kit. The PM kit does NOT give you any options as far as racks, 2nd seat, etc...
