Default Swing arm swaps

is there a swing arm that will take a f4 rim with the 180 tire? i honestly just want a 180 on the back of my track f3. and i can't do it with the stock rim. i have read about tire profiles and the like, i just want to put a new swing arm in, use the f4 rim and 180 tire.

Same here, I have a 180 mounted on my stock F3 wheel and swing arm. I know the 160 looks close but the profile changes enough to clear with the 180 on.

i do know that the tire will fit, but its only a 5 inch rim. 180 tires are not supposed to be squeezed onto those rims, the profile of the tire changes too much and it will not work like it is supposed to. i know, i tried it at the last track day, i just want to get the f4 rim on meh bike, and rock the 180 legitimately

+1 on the safety since its not a 5.5 for sure.
that tire profile is nasty.

you cant just put a 170 on?
i have a sinko on mine thats a 170 and i swear that bad boy's fat butt is just as big as the 180's

:P
