Getting new wheel assembls front and rear, old wheel are worn out. See some good deals on 80 spoke wheels but are a 3.5" wide in rear. the stock rear rim is 3.0" How much wider will the tire get, running a 140 dunlop now. Question is do you think will cause clearence issues. Thanks.

 

I think you will find that a 3.5inch wheel is an alternative for running a 140 tyre. Personally I would be happy to fit a 3.5 inch on my bike, except I prefer cast wheels! I also run a 140 rear on a 3 inch rim on my dresser.

I don't think there will be enough difference to worry about. How much clearance do you have at the moment between tyre and belt guard?

 

THX FOR REPLY, BELT GAURD STILL HAS A GOOD AMOUT OF ROOM JUST A BIT CLOSE TO LEFT SIDE OF FENDER, DID SOME OTHER SEARCHING 3.0" are getting hard to get even h-d is NOT SELLING 3.0" IN 80 SPOKE, "OBSOLETE" IM GONNA PULL THE TRIGGER ON THE 3.5", WORST CASE SCENERO IS GONNA BACK TO A 130, WILL LET UALL KNOW THX.
