Rim and tire selection

I have already done my bandit 400 front and rear end converstion, however, I am not so sure about the tire selection.

At the moment I have got a 3.5 inch front rim, that is more that likely coming a SV650, and at the rear end I have got a bandit 400 rear rim with the swing arm.

I know the bandit 400 run 110 front tire and 150 rear tire.

My questions are....

Should I get a bandit 400 front rim with the 110 tire, or just use the 3.5 rim I am having, and run a 120 tire with the 150 rear tire.

Also am I going to have any problem with chain clearance if I use 150 tire.

A crash is the result of the rider's mistake, so don't blame the bike

A rider should be able to control the bike but not controlled by the bike, becuase on the track you don't want to DNF and on the road you don't want to lose you licence

FYI
bandit 400 front rim is same as a GS and a pre 98 kat 600/750

wider front tire will make the bike turn slower.....

slap the Buddha Loves You on there
see if it rubs
if it does buy 5-10 washers and space it out

if it fit in the bandit swingarm....with the bandit wheel....why should there be any problem
since you swapped the rear end
