hey guys, I was just wanting to ask a quick question......would a rear tire/rim from a gsxr 1000 fit on the back of my honda superhawk 996

I believe a GSXR 1000 rear is a 190. If so it would fit but isnt ideal. The tire would be pinched and would cause your tire to have less contact with the road.

both bikes have a 190 rear tire, i was wondering if the rims would swap out

Monster Hawk

Well superhawks have a 180 rear not a 190. Im not sure if a rim would swap out though.

I am fairly sure it is not an easy swap.

I think the GSXR uses a larger axle and I know the rim is wider, so the hub probably is too.

So you'd be looking at a minimum of: new bearings, custom spacers, both inside and out, maybe interference issues with the chain guard. etc.

Doable? yes. (anything is given enough $) Easy bolt on? no.

GSX-R 1000s have a six inch wide rear wheel, which is what allows for the 190/50/17 profile-
Would be like attempting to put an RC-51 rear wheel in a stock Superhawk swingarm..
Just want happen--- very easily...

I second that. It is not normal for a SuperHawk to have a 190 tire. Especially on a stock rim. Although, people do do it.

Yeah the tire will swap on, I have run 190s with no ill effects, but the rim would be better off sold to buy one that fits. It is prohibitive to do since the benefit would be outweighed by the effort.
