if you can get a hold of them, maxxis/goldspeed street legal slicks. if that's not an option, think my next choice in line would be the pirelli dragon (left) or diablo (right) supercorsa pro tyres if they have to be street legal. they're pretty pricey though, I used them because I could get a hold of trackday take-offs so it didn't cost me so much to run them.

^^Best solution. Good call.

when a track is hard as nails, what bike woud you choose for the job

i just went to my local bike shop and they're going to swap the 160 to a 150 for free so im pretty happy with that. thanks for the help fella's.

the offset was incorrect. it should be 19-21mm offset off sprocket mounting flange to give chain clearance. Also you should run a 150 series tire because it is designed to go on a 4.5 to 5.0 inch rim. Motostrano does not build wheels so they dont know offsets. Those wheels came from Qtm inc. kirk Quote: Originally Posted by tripleespresso OK, mounted a 5" rear wheel laced to talon hub on my 2008 450 EXCR with a 160/60 Conti SM tire....

I have same problem, 05' ktm450exc, 5" rim, 160/60 pirelli super corsa. The chain has rubbed off about 4mm of tire I'm guessing. I bought a spacer kit to shift the sprocket over a little. from this guy. http://launchzone.ca/SupermotoPages/supermoto.htm He doesn't make them any more though. I might even offset the rim a little too. there was a user selling a new unopened kit on here....

I have an 05 525 EXC with a 5" rear rim. The chain guide on the top of the swing arm keeps the chain from hitting the tire. The guy that laced my wheels has a lot of experience so maybe he figured in an offset, but mine works great, no problem. I had to ditch the bottom chain guide, no way that will fit.
