I got my bike about 3 weeks ago and it had a beat 160 on the rear. I bought a set of Pirelli Diablo's on sale, the rear is a 180. I read that you can fit a 180 on a 160 rim without problems. My bike is a 2005 GSX750F, am I gonna have a problem with the 180?

Running a 160 from a 150. Been Good to me. Pirelli Diablo's feel so much better than the Dunlops it had on it. Running a 180... hmmm, dont know about that as far as handling, think you need a bigger rim. Depends on the brand tire I think though. Most here wont recommend it. (Tend to look out for our own, safety first!)SAV
Head up, eyes open... always!!!
Be... and be not afraid.

Your gonna need at least a 4.5 in. rim for that 180. The widest i could fit on my pre was a 160, on a 3.5" rim. Over that theres clearance issues both with the bike and the rim. You can get it to mount on a smaller one but you run into all kinds of flexing issues. The tire is designed wider at the bead to eliminate that issue. hence 5 inch rims and 190s.JokerThe newest addition to the Family!

190's actually use a 6 inch rim, and 180's are better on a 5.5....170 is really the widest you should go on a 4.5 wheel, depending upon manufacturer recommendations, most will say 160 max for 4.5 wheels

I think you may have clearance issues with 180 tire and your brake arm. Also that tire is going to be pretty deformed...
