I've got a 150 on my 250. I had to grind down the brake stay bolt to fit it is. Any wider would require a modified swingarm.

The wheels are stock, modified by Kosman. They machine off the rim and weld on a new one. The rear in my case is a 4.5" wide 17" diameter rim. The cost to do a pair of wheels is about $1400. I run Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa tires. 110x17 front and 150x17 rear.

Straight forward replacement is a 130/90-16.

How many times are you going to post the same crap?!?!?! And on a board (the classic 250 section) that has nothing to do with you and your post!
