Getting of topic happens alot around here. From the start of this post we got. You dont want to do that it cost to much and it looks crazy! From a guy who cant figure out why his caliper hanger is dragging. Must be in Florida from a guy thats from the land of patatoes not motorcycles. And riding lessons from a guy that thinks he can ride twisties on a 77kz 650 Wow really!! Instead of bullshit comments add some useful info, if not go swing from each others nuts some where else!

an extremely wide back tire with a front tire that isnt matched up to is ok if you plan on spending your time going in a straight line the majority of the time ,but will tend to plow through corners like an overloaded cattle truck with the rear wheel pushing the frontend .
same thing thing with a 8" over swingarm ,fine if your running a 200hp motor youre trying to hook up off the line but it will have the turning radius of an occ bike.
and the farther you push the rear wheel back the less weight you have on the tire and the less traction your getting unless your running some sponge rubber racing tire which wont last long.
personally ive seen very few real streetbikes that needed more than a 2-3" over rear swingarm to get the job done,and much more than a 140 rear tire.
not to mention the stress that a extremely wide rear tire puts on the rest of the driveline and transmission
