200/50 rear Rubbin????

[Deno_n_Philly]

I am looking to replace my stock rear with a 200/50. I told this to a more experienced Busa guy and he told me he thinks a 200 would rub against the chain. Does anyone know if this is true? How will change from going to a 200/50 from the stockers on there now..??? THanks...

Ive been told a 200 is the widest you can go WITHOUT issues.

You might rub the chain guard but other than that you will not have any problems, I've been running 200/50's on mine since I've got it.

I'm extended and my 200 doesn't rub at all.

I'[ve been also told that a 200 (outside chance) that a 210 is the widest you can go WITHOUT any problems

A 200 will fit without rubbing.

200 works just fine on a stock swingarm.

200 Series works just fine.

Don't ever let anyone tell you they don't handle either.

200 fit nicely, look good too. Tell that guy he's crazy....

I've run a Metzeler Sportec M3 200/50ZR-17 with no rubbing.

just put a 180 55 R17 on the rear. i'll tell you how it rides when i get home in a year.

180? Is that on a stock rim? I knew I could go up a size but didn't know I could go down a size. What benefits would that have ?

Stock is a 190/50...a 180/55 handles better and costs less...also wears out quicker.

Wow, thanks guys.. all of that was a huge help. I think I am going after that 200 now...

I had a problem with mine rubbing the chain guard but that was a quick fix

Weird, was the guard just bent in?

certain brand /model tires have a more pronounces "lip" hanging off the outermost edge (Shinko Ravens especially)
I think most brand 200s would fit without issue / a few would just barely rub ...
nothing a tiny bit of grinding/notching couldn't easily take care of .

1styr..
THis tire is a Shinko Raven 200/50.. so it has been known to rub?

[Fastfrog007]

I ran an Avon without issue, not sure on the shinko tho.
