over size rear tire ???? 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago
|
|
|
Can anyone tell me what size tire I can move up to with the stock rim..It's a 2004 roadstar in need of tires and I hope to put Metzlers as I did on my V-star. I loved the look of my Tires on the V, with the wide white walls and a fat 170 on the rear.
Thanks...

I believe some here have put up to a 160 on the stock wheel and swingarm, but not sure, IF you go any larger you may have to modify the fender frame, something like grinding it out...........check out the tech articles seems like i've seen it there.
