well i decide to stay with my 5.75 rear rim for now. And I will be sticking on some super corsers for the spring/summer.

I have decided to give the old rims a new lease of life with a gloss black powder coat!!!

Roll on the spring and the summer dudes!!

I’ve got to disagree with this, put a 6” rim on the back and you will loose all your slow seed turn in. Fine if you’re just on the track but for road work especially through town you’ll run wide on all those small islands etc. My SP1 was a pig through town, 6” rim. I wasn’t happy with the 916 until I put a 180 on it.

not with a 190/55 you wont. it has a higher profile than a 180/55.

So what are you going to gain over the 5.5" rim with the 180 on?

maybe nothing but you don't want to be disadvantaged if you already have a 6

I think the 6 in with a 190 will give a bigger contact patch than a 5.5 in with a 180 - but with the same profile?

This is my understanding but I'm only regurgitating what I believe I heard.

Must admit I have'nt tried or even seen a 190/55 on the road, it would be intresting to see how it compaired.
