16" rim with 150 tyre
Yesterday at 12:13:55
 
Anybody fitted a 16" tyre 150x80.
I can seem to find any with a bigger/higher tyre, I know there can be problems fitting it to the swingarm, but that I can fix. I'm just wondering why know one is doing that, maybe I missed something.

Fender clearance is one of the barriers besides the swing arm -- I had rubbing on the bolts with a 140/90-15.

That's not a problem, going with another fender anyway

Just curious, is this for aesthetic reasons? I don't see a benefit on these with a larger rear wheel.

I have a 16” rear wheel; 130/90-16 tire (ala Sportster), the wheel is a mag style from an ‘83 GS450.

Yes it's only for aesthetic reasons, I think it's looking a bit strange when you look at it, so I would like a bit bigger rearwheel and maybe stretch the swingarm.
