What would be the widest tire that can be mounted on stock front and rear TBA rims?

you can generally go 1 size up without any trouble...that would mean a 180 on the rear, and a 120 on the front...remember those are the just the tire WIDTH numbers. There's also a HEIGHT to consider ie 120-90 or 110-80. This is then a descriptor of the tire's profile, ie wide and low or narrow and high for example. This can lead to clearance problems even if the tire fits the rim.
I run a stock 170 Avon on the rear and went up a size from a 110-80 to a 120-90 on the front. In that case the width increase is only 10 mm, that's 5mm per side, but the height difference is 20 mm! 25.4 mm = 1 inch...and I did have clearance issues to deal with.
I believe some may be running a 130 on the front, and I think there may be a couple with a 180 rear. Perhaps they'll chime in with their opinions.
Hope this helps a bit...

Jonathan,I put a 120-90 on the front, but had to modify the fender bracket. i welded an 1" piece of metal on each side of the bracket and longagated the holes.That gave it more height clearance.

If you get a wider rim I think it only buys you room for a 200 tire and then the swingarm is the limiting factor, so stick with a 180.

Thank for the info, I totally forgot about the height to the tire. Sounds like there is little room for improvisation unless, willing to make other adjustments.
