48 rear rim/tire on front?
What would be needed to put the rear rim on the front, stock, front end? I have it sitting here with brand new tire, so if there's not a lot required, it might be cool to further enhance the 'fatness' of the front end.
I know I've seen beefy front wheels on a 48 several times, just not sure what was involved.
I suspect it would slow the handling, but above 110-120kph, that might not be a bad thing...it's a little twitchy right now.
Merci

The rims are the same size front and rear on a 48 (3.00 x 16)
You could possibly fit the 150/80 x 16 rear tire on the front assuming it'll fit between the forks, but you'll need to run it in reverse rotation as it's designed to handle road forces differently to a front tire.
I hope this helps
