    I've seen a guy with a 150 TKC off a BMW GS on a std NX rim, it fits the swingarm but it's way too wide for the rim.

    But then, I've had a 170 BT020 on a standard suzuki DR rim, and that's narrower than the NX rear rim...

    Don't go beyond 120/90-17, if you know what's good for you. Anything past 130 COULD scrape the chain and from 120 to 130 -- there's just no point since you only gain cornering instability and extreme wear -- nothing else.

    I bought my bike with a 130 on the rear and its been fine. I have since replaced with the same size. It looks good and gives no problems cornering and never had it get anywhere near the chain.
