isnt the std a 160/70/17 if i remember.

My mate has just fitted a 180/70/17 but needed to take the grinder to the inner side of the swinging arm to make it fit. Not 1 i would recommend but it sure looks 'fat' from behind

XT660R 130/80/17. A 140 might fit but you would need to check clearances (I destroyed my loobman line just by fitting a 130/80/17 Karoo nobbly).

You are joking, right? I look forward to seeing that on Youtube - or You've Been Framed in the near future...

ps. you can fit a 140/80 17 on the XTZ, but not sure about the XTR as it has the steel swing arm that might be a bit narrower? Still think it ought to work mind you?
