No clearence issues, but the edge is to crowned because of the 5.5 wheel. So you actually have a smaller contact patch when leaned over.

Not a good idea on the 5.5 inch rim of the superhawk. It actually ends up pinching the tire in to much and you lose contact patch with the road. So you spend more money for less traction. I would suggest sticking with the 180.

Yeah, I tried the 190 and you get about a 1/2 an inch area that you cannot get to ateach side of the tires (chicken strips). I am going back to a 180 next.

The 190 will also make turn in slower than the 180.
