street tracker in the works. 1979 xs650 just got my 19" wheel kit from omars. what tire and size should i use? thanks

I just got my front tire from durrelle racing in elizabeth colo. Its a goodyear 27.0x7x19. I would like a little fatter tire on the back but I dont know if a 27.0x 7.5x19 will work in the stock swing arm. I,m going to mount the front and see what it looks like in the swing arm before I order the wider tire.

How wide are the wheels?

27x7.0 Goodyears fit fine on my stock 19 in mags front and rear. It fits tight on the rear.

Don't know how wide. It's the black mag wheel (stock). Thanks for the reply

I know the reccommended width is like 2.75-3.5 inches, but Omar's says they are no prob on the skinny wheel. I'm betting the 7.0 is all the stock swingarm can handle.

I see Michelin is offering it's pilot3 tire in a 19" size as a trail tire. I think that may be a super good tire. I have ridden other bikes with the pilot3 and they are awesome as far as my ruined old reflexes and nerves can tell. Would probably be best on 2.15 rims Not cheap but?????
