tire options - non standard size question
#1



I guess tires are parts, right?  anyway, will a 150/70R18 fit on a 18" x 4" rim acceptably.  looks like 4.25" rim width is "ideal" but would it work on a 4" wheel width?  the swing arm looks plenty wide for another 10mm in width, but the present 140/70R18 comes a bit over 1/2" from the swing arm cross brace.  1/2" is 12.7mm.   70% of 140 is 98mm.  70% of 150 is 105mm.  going by straight calculations it looks like a 7mm increase in radius would fit.  Has anyone tried a 150/70R18 yet before?  if so, how did it turn out for handling?
thanks,
tdbru
