87 vfr rear tire size

i currently have a 140/80 tire on there and a 130 is recommend. i was wondering if it is at all possible to put a bigger size tire on there? perhaps, a 180?

don't shoot me if its a stupid question. thanks

 

If a 130 is standard, and you have a 140 on now, that would be as far as one would / should go. What is your rim size ? To fit a 180, you would need probably a 5.5 inch wide rim. Your rim size is probably around 3.0 inch, so, to try to fit a 180 would be impossible and dangerous. The profile would be completely wrong as well. Forget the idea...

 

go no bigger then the 140 you have on there now.

 

alright thanks for the info

 

I run a 130/90 on my 18" rim... sits a tad higher but I like the stance... I may try the 140/90 after seein this though
