180 tire + rear fender
 

would that work?

RE: 180 tire + rear fender
 

No.

Biggest you should go is 170, but then again, you shouldn't if you have an f2 because the rim is only 4.5 inches which a 160 is suitable.

If you guys put wider tires on a 4.5 inch rim, it doesn't increase the contact patch. It will look rounder and not as flat as you guys would expect. And if you are doing that, good luck.

As far as I know, its a stock 93 F2 wheel, and it had a 170 Metzler on it that would spin just cracking the throttle in first and 2nd.I was planning on going up to a Shingko 180, but when I went to my favorite bike shop for a tire, he only had 190s, and thought it would fit, so we put it on, low and behold, it does. My hugger was a little warped anyway, so I had to make some make some wooden wedges and stick em between the tire and the hugger in a few spots, and then warm it up with a heat gun just a little, let it cool and now it fits like a glove, better than it did when I got it with a 170 on it.
