'88 ZX10, need to find 17" rear wheel swaps

[bownarrow]

I have been trying to find a 170/60zr18 tire for the back for 3 weeks. Every website shows the Dunlop d220's or the Metzeler ME Z2's, but everyone seems to be out of stock - no production.

I am trying to find what 17" rear wheels will fit so I can try to swap up to a 180/55 or so to get the bike back in the swing. I am trying to stay away from mounting 160/60/18's, kind of looks goofy compared to the rest of the bikes out there.

I am also trying to do a 520 chain swap if anyone has some info?

How wide of a wheel do you think fits in your swingarm? There are a lot of 17 x 5.5 inch wheels available from older ninjas and such. However, I think you may be better off putting a whole rearend (swingarm, wheel, brakes, everything) from something more modern with a wider wheel on it. Sounds like a lot of work though. I think I'd keep trying to find that 170/60/18

No problem,ZZR1100C is the same swing arm assembly so 17' rear of this goes straight in!!

So would anyone know if there is a wheel or swingarm conversion for the 83-84 ZX1100? I'd like to go a little wider than the stock 130, but so far my experiences have shown that this bike shares almost nothing in common with other Kawis that one could find in a salvage yard.
