Kz900 Stock Rims - Largest Tire Size? was created by DoubleDub
I really like the look of the stock rims so I don't want to go with a more moden (mag) look, but if I change out the swingarm with one that allows more width, what's the largest tire that will fit on the rims? I'm about maxed on the stock swing arm with a 120/80-18 tire.
And then as a followup - what's the largest size I can run without having to monkey with the chain for clearance issues? Is the 120 about as far as I can go without having to offest the front sprocket/etc?
Swingarm changes are new to me...just looking for some insight from the exprienced out there.

Stock wheel is 2.15" wide. 120/90-18 is as big as practical on that width wheel. Guys have run wider I'm sure, but it's not functionally correct.
