a 190 will fit, but it's fairly tight

just measure 10 mm on each side of the stock 180 (that i'm assuming is still the size you have) and see if it'll rub anything

I wouldn't recommend it.. I have a 190 on mine right now because that's what the previous owner put on it.. I can't wait to get a regular 180 back onto it for handling purposes.

Handling of the bike changes with the increased curvature. A 190 might go on rim, but a 200 I'm sure will be pushing it (seating and probably touching).

I'd say a big NO NO.
