widest rear tire? (Read 56 times)

striknein Junior Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 51	widest rear tire? 04/27/16 at 14:31:32 I've done some searching, but I haven't found an answer. I'm planning a bobber build, and I'd like to throw a wider tire and bobbed fender in the rear. What's the widest tire that will fit in the stock swing arm?

True classic bobber would be a 16" rim front and back with Shinko 240, or 270's. (old style straight tread) http://www.shinkotireusa.com/tires/cruiser/classic

His first couple of skunk stripes might make him rethink the fender thing.

Even wearing full face helmets, crud hit under the chin in some corners. I can't imagine not having a fender. Fend off Defend Fend for yourself They really are there for a reason. If Jethro hadn't been such an idiot, he woulda built seat belts outta rope.
