Title: GSXR 750 Rear tire
Post by: aviationfred on November 08, 2012, 04:30:49 PM
I installed the GSXR 750 rear tire mod today. Extremely easy following the how to thread previously posted. Not happy with the brake line, I will have to figure something out for that.

The Stock 16" with the standard 150 width tire

The Suzuki wheel installed with a 180 width tire. Absolutely no clearance problems

Now doesn't that 180 look like the proper size for your FJ? And you get to fit modern compounds to boot...

The wider tire really does make a huge difference in the appearance. Also the handling change was immediately present.
