Default newer wheels on f3's

will the wheels off of a 600 rr fit on our f3's? my wheels both have slight bends/nicks that i dont like to look at and somebody's parting out a 600rr locally to me. will anything else work on a f3 from a 600rr?

Not sure about the front wheel, I think it will fit, but the rear wheel may not. The rear wheel holds a 190 tire, ours can barley fit a 180.

I know we can run a 180, it's not what we're suppose to run, but I know we can, nut the 600rr rim I believe is a little more wider than ours. I know a few riders that are running 200 on their 600rr. I remember reading this somewhere here in the forum that we would have to modify our swingarm to fit the wider tire.

stock rear on a F3 is a 160 or a 170. A 180 will fit on the wheel but the profile gets all jacked and the edges are useless and the profile is shyt. Any wider and the swingarm will need to be made wider. Not to mention anything wider than what it was designed for is nuttin but bling n completely useless.

so apparently 180 is the stock tire size on 600rr's. would it be possible to stretch a 170 or maybe even a 160 tire on there?

Maybe. That would be pretty goofy lookin though.
