750E Tire Upgrade

I currently have a 1982 750E bought new. This winter I am pulling it apart and giving her a thorough once over. I'm going to do some minor upgrades at the same time and would like to know if 1982 1100E rims and tires would fit as a handling / ride upgrade? If I have thought this out, the 750 rims are 3.25x19 F and 4.00x18 R. The 1100 I think has 3.50x19F and 4.50x18 R. Will this minor increase cause any problems with any clearances?

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
 
Are you sure about those rim widths? I don't know of any GS models that had stock widths that big. Sounds more like tire widths.
 
I have to agree with Billy I think you have the wrong measurements for your rims. I have an 83 GS1100GK and the rims are Front Rim Size: 2.15x19 | Rear Rim Size: 2.75x16 I wish they were the size you are saying, then we could really put some rubber on the road.
 
You gents are correct in that the sizes I stated are tire size not rim width. Has anyone put larger rims / tires on a 750E?
Thanks again!
 
I'm running a GSXR front end with a 3.5"X17" rim and a 120/70 tire. On the back I've got a 4.5" GSXR rim with a 160 mounted.
 
The 1100 front rim is the same size as the 750 but the rear has a 17 instead of an 18". I have 83 1100 rims on right now with 100/90-19 and 140/80-17 Bridgestone tires which work well.
