Title: 3.5 inch wide front rim for GS?
Post by: D-Day on February 05, 2004, 07:16:01 PM
Any 3.5 inch wide front wheels that will fit the GS?  Or will I have to have the wheel widened?

If you mount GSXR front forks and wheel, then you get the 3.5 in.  I guess the question is WHY would you want the wider front wheel?  To run a 120/17 tire?  You can get plenty good rubber in 110/70.

never considered this swap on a stock front end....
should fit with some custom captive spacers and a modification the the brake caliper (or replace with 4 or 6 pot)
go GSXR F/E if you want a 3.5
