    No... some mods would be needed.

    You could use a 89 or older GSXR, or Bandit/RF 600 4.5" rims with some minor mods... fairly easy to do, no welding. This would give you up to a 170 tire depending on the brand, most brands properly to fit that rim would be a 160 though.

    Going with 5.5" rims would require you to widen the swingarm forms for clearance to properly fit it with a 180 or larger tire.
