A 6" rim is needed for a 200mm tire carcass.
I had a "rice burner" 18 years ago that came with a 200 tire, stock. It also was on a 6" rim. That bike had the steam to pull a 200 too...

Very cool! A 200 will easily fit. I know a 16” wheel will work and currently have a 18” so anything in between should fit fine. A 5.5 wheel will work BTW.

I have had an 18x5.5" and 200 Metzeler tire (ME880 and ME888) since Feb 2011. I have had this under the stock fender (that was lowered) and now with no fender. Never a clearance issue, even with my air shocks fully dumped and bike fully slammed!

Good luck finding wheels sold in an 18x6" size. Not very common!

can you please share a link to where you got that setup from SWChief? I was looking at hdwheels.com.... is that right ? How many spoke count did you go with? Their website says max tire for their 5.5 inch wheel is a 180..... if it is then how did you get them to go 200?

Thanks
