The widest you can go is 150/70 on the rear, and 4.50 on the rim. Any wider, you rub the chain and getting it on is a royal pain.

I did mine in the street in front of my house for the dis-assembly and re-assembly, on my porch for the cleaning and painting. The wife was none too happy to see my bike scattered all over the porch. It sucked carrying the engine up the stairs into my yard, but it was worth it.

I think it was worth it, too. Your bike looks very good and fun to ride! Thanks for the info!

4.25 is plenty believe me. The bike handles like a champ with it.

Yeah, you can go up to 150 on the 4.25. The 4.50 is doable, but is a very tight fit.

Thanks for all the comments. I am looking for more wheels to pass on to you guys, right now they are wanting over $600 for the set. Trying to find them a little cheaper.
