Cbr Wheel conversion on vf500

Hi I just fitted cbr600 wheels and the tire is rubbing. Is somebody riding the f2 wheel conversion to and which tires are you running to make this work ?
Or how can i make the 160 wheels to fit?

 

The consensus is you have to run a 150/60-17 tire on the 4.5" rim.

 

Also it appears it is an Avon tyre. They run wide. A Michelin or Pirelli run closer to "advertised".

I have 5.5" rear wheel conversions on two VF1000. One has a 170/60-17 Pirelli that measures 168mm and fits perfect. The other has a 170/60-17 Avon that measures almost 180mm and occasionally rubs the chain.

 

Ok in another forum they rode wrote i can ride a 160 60 from Dunlop but im not sure

 

Ok thanks im looking to it

 

But the vf1000 has a wider swing arm or not?

 

It was just an example of how different tire manufacturers can vary greatly in the actual sizes of tires.

 

A ok thanks what do you think of the idea that dunlop 160 will fit or not?

 

I have no fucking clue. Have you researched if Dunlops typically run wide or not?

 

If you are just gonna start throwing rubber at the problem, why don't you just buy a 150 series and be done.

That is PLENTY of tire for a VF500F.

 

I want to ride a tire as thick as possible for the aggressive look.

 

Good luck.

Captain 80s out.

 

Thanks will post a Update
