What is the widest rear tire I can sensibly use on a 17"X 4.5" rim without changing its profile? Swingarm clearance is not an issue.

What wheel are you using.
Most 160's are made to work with 4.5" wheels pretty well. -
The Michelin Pilot Powers in a 170 say they will go on a 4.5" rim as will some others but I think the preferred is 5".
160 is the normal size for a 4.5" rim.
I have a 170 running on a 5.5" rim with no problems (clearance is an issue so I can't get to a 180)1980 GS1000G - Sold

a 95 GSXR 1100 would have a 5.5"x17" wheel with 180/55-17 as the standard tire size.Comment

^yep.
Only 17X4.5" wheels in 1994, that I know of, were Bandit 400 and I think GSXR400...from suzuki anyway.Comment

OK, I was going by what the Seller said. Whatever it is it is a Suzuki 17" x 4.5 wheel. Cast aluminum 3-spoke Chrome rim edge and white paint. 5-bolt rotor and sprocket.
Thanks to all who replied. I continue to stand in awe of the knowledge this group displaysComment

Do you have a link or a picture of it?Comment

That's more than likely and '88 or '89 wheel. The date of manufacture is cast into the wheel. The month and year are somewhere on the wheel.Comment
