Stick with that 130 rear for the stock rim. Anything bigger and the profile will be pinched and it'll handle worse. What's your riding style?

Yeah, what is it that you're trying to accomplish? Are you wanting to have a big fat muffin on the back just so you can say you have a big fat muffin on the back, or are you really that great of a rider that you NEED that big fat muffin? Keep in mind that your bike was designed to ride with those skinny bias ply tires. Posplayr is right that you can jump up to GSXR rims for fatter tires, but you will have to upgrade the front as well. Lotsa bucks involved with that. I know I've done it.
