Default width difference from stock160 to SE180

How much wider is the SE 180 that the stock 160? Want to go wider but don't want to spend the extra cash to change from my stock chrom wheel. Thanks

Ive just noticed some people on the forum say to get a true 180 you have to go to a 5.5 in wheel. So if you can put a SE 180 on 4.5 on only that tire is it a true 180? If not how much wider?

Well....the difference is about 3/4".......
160mm= 6-5/16"
180mm= 7-1/16"
Mine came with the SE180/wide tire kit from the MoCo.....the rim width is 5".....I could prolly squeeze a 200mm on there, but would have to change the belt/pulley width I think.....the difference(180-200 or 160-180) amounts to 3/8" on each side of the rim,and I'm about an 1/8" away from it now(belt)......so if yer rim is 4-1/2" I'd say the 180 will prolly work,but you'll have to watch the belt clearance........
