To be clear, I only do this because I KNOW it clears the swingarm & because it allows me to buy better rubber suitable for racing.



The only way to know if you can run that size tire on that bike is to ask someone who's run that size tire on that bike. Some bikes have room to play with tire sizes, others don't.

Sorry, Brain fart. I meant what rim width the tire was meant for, not what width the tire was. 2 different measurements.
