For a 160 tire I had to use a 5/8" offset on a 80 KZ750E, with a 200 you're probably looking at an outboard support.

5/8" offset, is that the front sprocket or the rear wheel? I take it that wasn't the stock KZ750 wheel that was being used? :)

Steell was talking about the countershaft sprocket. You have to use an offset sprocket for the chain to clear the rear tire.

No, that's not happening. You could have a stock wheel widened, but that wouldn't fit a stock swingarm.

For comparison, a stock Z1's 18" rear wheel works well with the slightly over-size 120 tire, and a 130 tire will barely fit while looking obviously too large on the rim where it reminds one of a fat man's belly bulging out over a too tight belt. :lol:

Good Fortune! :)

You didn't read my post in your thread about GSX750 Katana wheels on a 750E? It was made ~ 3 hours before you posted this one. Or did you think a 2000 Suzuki GSX750 Katana uses the same wheel as a 1980 750E?
