hey guys, so I'm converting my TE to SM, I'm ordering some warp9 wheels. i have an option of 17x4.25 or 17x5 on the rear wheel. does anyone know if a 17x5 will fit with some nice juicy tires? or if its not worth bothering? thanks in advance guys!
I went with 17x5 with a 150 rear tire on my 13 te 449/511. The 150 tire was max width for my bike. The tire was super close to the chain any bigger like a 160 I think would of rubbed. Warp 9 is a great set up and worked very well. Make sure you get the correct mm spacer for the rear and the front brake rotor bracket. Not sure what the differences are on mine vs yours but enjoy. Sold the 449/511 and I'm missing them now...
I went with the 4.25" rims and a 150 rear. I think the way the 150 is profiled to the 4.25" rim works well. If you go with the 5" rear you would probably want a 160 rear just to be better suited
I'm rocking the warp9 5" with a 160 contiattack sm. no chain bite here. La Flame is correct. If you go with 4.25" rim the 150 is your best size and 5" = 160
