Guest DannyMoto Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I'm running 190 on a 7 inch rim - I dont se any " flattened" shape I'm not an expert driver but have been to trackdays a couple of times - and yes it's easier to use the thread all to the edge - but when running in the traffic I don't feel any change My rim is a look a like split 2013-06-21 16.58.22.jpg That looks great!!! The final product really came together with the gold. Makes me want to play around with my 6th gen now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiKenG Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 A bit late to the party again, but thought I'd chime in. Has nobody considered the rear wheel from a Ducati Diavel. I think they're 8" and there's a ready made Pirelli (240 width) to suit that rim and it's certainly not detrimental to the handling of that bike. Just seems like an obvious option to try if you want a fat rear wheel and tyre on a motorcycle. You'd need to re-work the rear axle to suit the Ducati wheel's mounting, but plenty of people have done that to mount all sorts of other wheels. At least you wouldn't be up against the bike/car bead incompatibility issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
