Hey i was wondering how wide of a rear tire i could put on my 93 f2 with out it rubbing the swingarm? thanks

 

my bike has a 180/55/17 on the stock rear wheel. It was like that when i bought it. I HIGHLY recommend against using this size tire on the narrow rear wheel that our bikes have. The 180/55/17 tire is designed for a much wider wheel, so it fits TERRIBLY on the 4.5" rear wheel. I wouldnt use it on a 5" wheel either. 5.5" minumum.
I bought new tires, and went with the factory sized 160/70/17 for the rear which i will be installing tomorrow. I'm sure the bike will handle much nicer with the properly sized tires.

Oh, i should mention that the 180/55/17 tire that is on m bike is VERY close to the chain.

 

I think the factory tire is a 160/60/17.

 

ive been told that people put on 170 and even as big as a 180 but i would stick with 160 since this is the tire honda wanted on it.

 

If You didn't want toupgrade Your rim, You could use a 170/60/17.
Anything bigger and the tire will no longer be round and wont look or ride correctly.

 

i know people who buy f3 wheels and swing arms can do a 180.

 

one-- do a search there are about 50 of the exact same questions...

two---you can do a 170 on the f2 rim.... if you get the f3 rim you can go 180.

 

F2 and F3 rim are the same size what are you people talking about
