Bigger wheels

Hi y'all
Got a GT750 shaft here in the UK which is a bit "underendowed" in the rear. I'm thinking about putting a bigger back wheel in and am looking at either a GTR1000 back wheel (16") or a KZ1000ST (17"). I want at least a 140/80 back there up from a puny 120/90. Anybody know if a 140mm tyre will fit on a KZ1000ST rim? Great forum this, glad I found it. MadYank coz I aint a Brit, just live here
Cheers

my 550 has a 130/90-16, so as long as the frames are generally the same - yeah, it'd fit.
