As part of my sidecar rebuild project I'm looking at changing from the 19/17 GSA spoked rims to 17/17 cast rims. That would let me put a 130 tire up front which in the world of sidecars is a good thing. On the front a cast R/RT/S rim is a nearly perfect fit. On the rear I'd need to go with a K12/13 rim as it has less offset than the R. The problem is the normal 180 tire would rub a bit unless I either relocate the exhaust 10mm or go with a smaller slip on. Of course my first thought was to swap the 180 for a 170, but in a pdf file that details converting the GSA to a supermoto it says the 170 is too narrow for the 5.5 inch rim and I'd have too much sidewall flex.
Has anyone tried this? How was the fit?
