Anyone running a 200 or larger tire on stock rim/swingarm? Need some measurements.

Looking for some width measurements of larger tires on the stock 6 inch rim and stock swingarm. Trying to see what the largest tire is that will clear the chain. If you're running a 200+ tire I'm looking for some caliper measurement at the widest points. Thanks!

Reason I ask is because I am considering going to the darkside for my endurance rides, and will be fitting a 205/50-17. They run about 8 inches - just want to make sure that will clear.

I don't have numbers but on my GenI a 200/50-17 fit with plenty of room to spare.

Yes.

Love the 200. Just right.

Tim, do you know the actual width on that, or have a caliper handy you can measure it with?

When I say darkside - I mean this
