Well you ain't gonna have any issues with the fender
There's been a couple that've run it. said it gets close to the belt.
Also, tire widths vary from mfr to mfr.
so depending on the tire you pick, you may be fine or not.

Manufacturer to manufacturer. Different tires will vary a few centimeters in width and height even with the same "tire size" on the sidewall.

All have 150/90's
The whitewalls are Maxxis Classics.No longer available.
The other two bikes have IRC Wild Flares.One had no problems the other one rubs the front of the swingarm.I posted about it in quality control thread.
This is from the last bike.Here is how bad it rubbed at high speed.

So as long as I grind off swing arm tabs the 150/90 will work no other mods needed tire will fit on rim?

It depends on the tire and your bike. Every one is slightly different. You may not have to do anything. 150/90's usually fit a stock bike but the saddle bag bolts rub the tire so you have to change them to a round headed allen bolt. Everything else usually fits OK.

Saddle bag mounts I'm pretty sure I have no saddlebag mounts and I have no fender at all

Like I said...I always run 150's on my builds.This one the brace was off a little and it rubbed at higher speeds.I'm going to cut the brace and move it forward about 1/2".The swingarm was made slightly different than my others.
