No it wont. The largest you can put is a 180 and thats pushing it.
the larger tire on these small rims will make the middle of the tire more pointed which will make the handling unstable
Not to mention you run the risk of breaking the bead seal on the tire.
if you really want to do it i suggest doing the rear wheel swap to 900rr. heres the link to the guy that did it

I rode on a 180 for the last season because thats what my bike came with, but i recently got new pilot powers at the correct size (160) and it is night and day difference. in my opinion (probably also fact) the turn in on the 180 is incredibly slow because the tire is mis-shapen on the smaller rim. it also causes the edges to roll in so there is no definate feel to where you are on the tire. once switching to the 160 rear my f3 just floats around corners now like it should.
i highly recommend NOT going above stock size.

190 will not fit on the rim as it will bubble out on the sides from the rim being too skinny. Now on the f4i, it's game on! I'm running Ntec 190's this weekend in Talladega.
If you're dangerous in the turns, you can stick with 180's on your f3. More contact patch to keep you on the pavement.

You're kidding me right?? Most everyone that races are using 190's on the 600's now. **Even in the 600 classes in AMA/DMG, the spec tire only comes in 190.
Btw- I'll be @ Tally on Sat(27th)... Silver f4i
