Does anybody knows the specs for F2 wheels (front and rear) especilally the windht (the rim is 17"). Understand that manual recommend on 160/70/17 size tyre (CMIIW), can it use bigger size? what's the recommended bigger size?
Thanks

 

You are going to catch crap for asking this. people will imply your a "poser who only wants the fat wheel look" blah blah blah.

I run a 170 because i found with a 180 the tire will rub the chain (now this also depends on the brand of tire you use) I run Metzler M3's they are what i prefer, my suggestion is find someone who has the brand you like and see the max size they use without it rubbing the chain. dont go to a dealer ship and ask unless you know the parts guy wont't be a d-bag. I went to a dealership and asked and the guy gave me the whole your a poser and you need to run what the manual states line of crap.

good luck finding what you need.

 

I am running a 180/55/17 on rear with no problems at all..

 

Thanks guys for the advices. The thing is, the wheel was not the original CBR wheel, when I got the bike from previous owner. And, since I'm trying to re-build the bike
looking for the original wheel. I need a lot of help to bring the bike to life, but I'll put it on different thread.

 

say, what brand do you run?
Thx

 

i ran a 190/50/17 on there, rode fine, about to put on a Pilot 180/55/17

 

i have 120/60 R17 pirelli diablo rosso on front and rear i have 170/60 R17 Metzeler M3, both excelent tires.

 

I don't know the width on the front, but the rear is 17" x 4.5"

I just bought 120/70-17 front and 170/60/17 rear...

Stock tire sizes f/r for F2's are 120/60/17 and 160/60/17.
