180 would be best. 190 may squeeze on and hopefully clear your chain, not touch your front swingarm arch or cause strange handling.
200 no way.

I know of 190 race tyres that go on 5.5 rims but they have a stronger side wall construction and special profiles to suit.

Beware of some Dunlops being wider if you are trying a 190.
You could try a Dunlop Q3 180. Probably be as wide as a Michelin or Pirelli 190.

190 track based/dot tyres could work. I would just run a Q3 180 if you want the fat rear look.

yep that is what i am looking for, i am fixing my monster more for looks than performance but at the same time i want it to handle decent when is time to take a curve, my best friend told me to put a q3 thats all he uses so i might end up putting that on the monster and see how it goes

Yeah, it's amazing how some of those Dunlops are actually wider despite having the same labelled numbers.
