Ok I have a GS1100E swing arm on my 78 gs1000. What 5.5x17 rim will fit this swing arm. I'm going to do the 530 chain and sprocket. what else do i need to make it work. Also what do i do as far as the brakes. I read that the stock gs brakes wont work.

So I dont know for sure, but you need to get the calipers that match rotors in size. I think either first gen or second gen will fit the wheel.

I have a 86 GSXR 1100 with 2nd gen wheels (180-zr55-17 on back) but retains the stock 86 drop mount caliper and rotor. So the 86 1100 rotor bolted to the 2nd gen wheel.

Note because the brake caliper hangs down you need to reweld taps for the torque arm to the bottom of the GS1100E aluminum swing arm.

I have an 1100 swingarm on my 1000, and as far as I can see, the 1100 swingarm isn't any wider than the stock one on the 1000. Are you trying to put a wider rear wheel on?
 
I have a 2nd gen GSXR 5.5" rim on mine. You can use the stock (1100) wheel spacers too. You will need a GSXR caliper hanger and the rod mount needs to be relocated underneath the swingarm instead of on top. You will aslo need a GSXR, RF900, or 1st gen Hayabusa rotor as well.
