I have no idea if the axle sizes are the same, but the wheels are definitely different.
The 550 has 2.15x16 in front, 2.15x18 on the rear.
The 1100 has 1.85x19 in front, 2.50x17 on the rear.
Why would you want to change?

If they do "fit", it would look ridiculous with much smaller wheels on it...'83 GS 1100T

Aside from the looks, why would you want to so drastically change the steering geometry?
The '83 11E is arguably the pinnacle of air cooled superbikes. Is there something wrong with the original wheels?
I'd be surprised if the effects on the handling weren't adverse, to say the least. How about before and after pictures?1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
