190 tire question
#5
If you have a hugger mounted, it will probably rub on that, and potentially on the swingarm as well if the wheel is forward on the chain adjusters... This since "pinching it" like jay said will make it taller... Also, the speedo will be measurably off...

well, for what it's worth, the Q2 180x55 has the same approximate dimensions as a 190x50 BT0-16 when mounted on a 5.5 in rim. And some manufacturers have indicated that it's acceptable to mount 190s on 5.5 rims.
I didn't like the feel of the larger tire/profile after I got used to it, but couldn't tell any serious adverse affects.

you can get 190 tires that are meant for a 5.5 inch rim. if its free use it and dont worry about it, itll change some things but wont make the bike un stable or anything like that. im going from a 170 to a 190 on my track bike, that should be fun
