16" rim with 150 tyre (Read 53 times)

Larsdk YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 5	16" rim with 150 tyre 10/23/24 at 12:13:55 Anybody fitted a 16" tyre 150x80. I can seem to find any with a bigger/higher tyre, I know there can be problems fitting it to the swingarm, but that I can fix. I'm just wondering why know one is doing that, maybe I missed something.

I have a set designed to fit exactly the end of the swingarm and add about 2” to the length of the swingarm. Made of steel and needs to be welded into place.. Let me know if you’re interested.
