Hardtail or stock swingarm? It really depends on the tire brand and style. Some run wider than others. Most tire manufacturers will list what rim sizes work with their tires.

130/90-16 for rear... Any wider will rub on swingarm.

Hardtail or swing arm. It doesn't matter. It has to due with chain interference with the tire. This subject has been beaten to death..... The search function is your friend.
Go any wider and your tire will hit the chain.
I have put the on shinko 130/90-16 with great success.
With enough grinding on the egdes of the chicken strip a 140 will squeeze into the stock swing arm. It hit the chain guard and both sides of the swing arm before it gets to the chain.

I have a 140/90 Metzler on my stock mag with a hard tail. Clears the
chain by about a half inch. You can see a pic of my bike on my profile.

No problem. I like to use it as a way to say, "stop being lazy and use the search function because this has been discussed many times." Your question has been asked many times before and there is no need to start a new thread on something that there is already a dozen or more threads for. It's clogs the board with redundant information. Use the search function and you will not get treated like such a retard. I have no problem helping people with their questions (feel free to check my posts ther are a lot of us that help ad much as possible) but when its clear they have done zero research it gets old.
When your bike breaks down and you come up with what you think is a unique question or thought use the tech section or do a search. More than likely it has already been covered before.
