#1022850 Windzup (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 12 Rear Wheel 5 Months ago   Hi guys I want to get a big fat tire for the back of my road star whats the biggest I can get with out any mods I have a 170 at the moment and whats involved if I want to go a lot bigger thank you in advance   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022857 BigB (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 245 Re:Rear Wheel 5 Months ago   Well, you are about maxed out with the 170 "without any mods". Wider would involve a wider rim to support the wider tire (yours, if stock is rather shoe-horned on there), grinding down the brake stay and internal fender "ears" a touch. There's a simple diagram around somewhere with these "pictured". There's a few on here with 200's mounted, but pretty sure a little more in-depth work is required. I was setup for a 180, but realistically, the internal fender support is going to be the limitation.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1023602 Mirage (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 111 Re:Rear Wheel 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago   BigB wrote: Well, you are about maxed out with the 170 "without any mods".

I was setup for a 180, but realistically, the internal fender support is going to be the limitation. SO, I right understand, that 170 tire works without any mods (and grinding smth) with stock rim? I'm interested in Metzeler marathon 888 ultra 170\70-16 rear and 140\90-16 front I don't like popular michelin commander II (bad at cold and/or wet weather..)   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1023617 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..
