    Wider rim

    What rims will fit a stock gs 1100 swingarm along with sprockets and rotor. I would like to go about 5.5 inch wide. Thanks

    I believe the widest you can fit is 4.5 inches.
    My wheel comes from a GSXR 1100 K.
    The 160 tire just clears the swingarm
    Here are some pictures:

      Did you use the gs axle, sprocket and brake rotor?

        I have a 5.5 in a gs1100e swingarm on my 78 gs1000.
        I used a mix and match gsxr and gs spacer to fit the wheel.
        I went with the underslung gsxr caliper too.

          The axle is from the GS, the rest is from the GSXR 1100 K donor.
          You need 6mm spacers on eitheir side as the GS swingarm is wider than the GSXR.
          You will also need a 13 mm offset front sprocket for the chain to line up...
          The chain will of course have to be a 530 model
