rear tire?

[Buck8154]

I was curious what the largest rear tire you can fit on a stock wheel and swingarm? Probably already been covered but I couldnt find anything, thanks.

I'm a newb...what is the washer mod?

The washer is normally on the right side of the rear wheel. Some people need to move it to the left side to "move" the tire more to the right to avoid any interference with the tire and the swingarm. I didn't have to do this on my 02 and the Metzler 180/70/15

On the right side, looking from the rear, there is a spacer washer on the rear axle between the caliper arm and the swingarm. Moveing that spacer washer to the left side of the wheel will move the tire away from the swingarm on the left, giving a little more clearance on that side.

Jeff beat me to it-he explained it better than me so ignore this post!
