Hello!

Long story short. I'm SLOWLY sticking a 2003 crf450r motor in a pregen frame (it ate a crank long ago). and Im looking to finish up.

I picked up a complete ninja300 swingarm/wheel/brakes etc... for a good price. While it can run a 150/60r17....

I'd REALLY like to be able to run 160/60r17 or 165/55r17 for track days as this is the size most used by motards and 250gp bikes.

So is there a 5" or 5.5" wheel that i can fit into a ninja300 swinger? Don't have the budget for BST wheels with custom mounts... But custom spacers etc.. for an oem rim would be great

it seems like the tires will clear the swingarm if its run further back in the chain adjusters?

Thanks for the input!

P.s. I know this is silly/pointless/waste of money with the ninja 400 being out, but this project was started 10years ago...
