Swingarms and large wheels

Hello,

Do any of you SS types have experience of running 6 inch or even wider rims?

Basically, I need to know if I can get a wheel into a 1000SS that is 6inches wide or bigger (5.5in standard). Hopefully this can be done without the need to go for a different swingarm but this can be done as well.

The most important thing here is getting the wider rim into the back. The smallest rear tyre I can find that is 16.5in is a 190 which you really need a 6in rim for (is my understanding) although they will fit to a 5.5in rim.

Any comments?
