    i know it doesn't sound good but i put a 180 on my 90 and it is so squeezed on the rim that it is flat across the tread, i wouldn't recommend it, i put it on because i wheelie and only run 10 to 20 psi in the rear so i have a wider footprint to ballance on.

        I have some 180 55 17 michelin pilot RACE and BT0-16 in my shop
        Ill mount them and take some pics

        trust me a 180 is way to wide for the rim and ballons the tire out.

        as for wider foot print... a proper width tire for the rim and lower tire pressure will give you a bigger foot print then a huge tire pinched onto a little rim. the pinched tire has a smaller foot print and distorted profile.
        the Conti motion and Road attack 170 are desinged for a 4.5" rim I prefer the 160 for handling
