89 onward CBR1000F wheel will fit, you'll have to change the spacers and bend the brake support arm.
Don't go bigger than 180 or handling will suffer.

+1 to shadow. bought my 89 cane fitted with a 190 on back..looks the biz but noticed it had worn a nice groove in chain guard. doesnt handle as good as my mates cane fitted with a 180 . will be changed as soon as i wear it out.

+1 Puma. I love the big meaty rear tire, but going larger than 180 out back has negative effects on handling a few fitment issues as you described. I run a 180 on mine and the bike handles well.
