2.15 rear rim on CB550
« on: August 01, 2015, 05:47:54 PM »
Cb550s came with a 1.85 wide rear rim.  I have to replace mine and was considering using an alloy 2.15 rear rim.  The 2.15 rim is supported by more tire brands and would give more options down the road. 

My question is, will a 2.15 rim work without throwing off the stock dynamics.  I plan on running Dunlop k70 4.00-18 in the rear.  I'm replacing the front rim too but sticking with the stock size.
