Title: 6" rear wheel on S*R? Post by: uglyducky on July 15, 2011, 08:00:46 AM has anyone actually done this? i bought a set of really nice forged marchesinis from another forum and the seller stated (i asked a number of times) that it was a 5.5 rear. they show up yesterday and . . . . not quite. he's cool, made a stupid mistake said send em back, he'll refund, blah blah BUT, i really like them. anyone actually ever use a 6" rear on an S*R? i've read the threads about it but haven't heard anyone chime in that has actually done it. i wanna run a 180 on a 6" wheel - does this unicorn exist? ;D

Title: Re: 6" rear wheel on S*R? Post by: stopintime on July 16, 2011, 10:26:59 AM My 5.75 wheel has been at eccentric positions 8 to 5 o'clock with no swingarm clearance issues, so that part of it might not be a problem.
The spacer put my wheel waaay out to the right side - I ditched the spacer because of that. My rim has a M5 190/55 and it's pretty close to the chain (6-7-8mm), but hasn't touched yet. Different tires might have different shapes/profiles, so I guess there's no way of knowing until ...... Title: Re: 6" rear wheel on S*R? Post by: uglyducky on July 16, 2011, 04:15:11 PM wouldn't the spacers compromise front and rear alignment in that it will shift the rear wheel of to the right a bit?

The eccentric is supposed to be kept between 6 and 9 oclock. I didn't notice anything, but I wasn't racing the bike either. Title: Re: 6" rear wheel on S*R?

Yes, but it's not certain that it will be off. Maybe it's not perfectly aligned today. If not - the spacer can either correct it OR make it worse..... Title: Re: 6" rear wheel on S*R?
