I have done the modification that you guys are talking about. Its kinda lengthy but pretty simple if you understand the components going into it. Problems such as alignment can be taken care of pretty easily. Although I use a 170 tire on mine the 650r rim will accept a 150-170 so you could go with 3 different sizes. All completely safe to run on a 4.5 650r rim. Let me know if you want details. I did this the exact same way that the other two guys (on the other forums) did this. I had good help from them.
