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

That looks great!!! The final product really came together with the gold.

Makes me want to play around with my 6th gen now...

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.
