hey guys, I picked up a swing arm from a GS (i think) it said Wolf Racing on the side, anyway it bolted right up with just a 1/8" spacer on either side.

Anyway what I need to know is the largest tire I can fit on the stock rim as I have a tonne of room now with this swing arm, I want to keep the stock rims so I need some help as I can't finf the info.

thanks!!

120, maybe 130 unless you want huge chicken strips and a profile that is dangerous and useless.

I was afraid of that, the rim already has a 130 on it. Are there other rims that will fit the axle (front and rear so I can get e matching set).

Lace up a 3 1/2 or 4"x18 and then you can run something bigger like 140, 150 or 160
