  1. There seems to be a lot of questions about rear wheel and tire sizes and fitment, here is the answers to all who inquire, please correct me if I make a mistake. Rear wheel ID picture vfrwheels.JPG 3rd Gen wheels, 90-93, the infamous 8-spoke Size: 17"x5.5" OE Tire: 170/60-17 Tire recommendations: 180/55-17 is the best handling tire you can put on a 5.5" rim, nothing else. The 170 will not put as big of a rubber contact patch down when cornering hard. The 190 tire will be too big, not as stable handling in hard cornering. Fitment: Will fit all VFR's 90-09 without any problems Weight: 13.1 lbs 4th gen, 94-97 Size: 17"x5.0" OE Tire: 170/60-17 Tire recommendations: 170/60-17 is recommended for the 5.0" rim, a 180 will work, but won't be as stable handling in hard cornering. Some may argue this, the 180 will work, but I think the 170 is a better choice. Fitment: Will fit all VFR's 90-09 without any problems Weight: approx 12 lbs, please confirm me this. 5th & 6th Gen, 98-01, 02-09 Size: 17"x5.5" OE Tire: 180/55-17 Tire recommendations: 180/55-17 is the best handling tire you can put on a 5.5" rim, nothing else. The 170 will not put as big of a rubber contact patch down when cornering hard. The 190 tire will be too big, not as stable handling in hard cornering. Fitment: Interchangable between 98-09 no problem, and will fit 90-97 with notching modification to hub mounting surface. The bolts for the brake rotor stick out instead of being flush, as shown in pic. This mod has been shown, use the search feature. Weight: 13.1 lbs vfrhubs.JPG
