    I have a 16 inch rim and a 18 inch rim. Rears

    What will the bikes performance do on each rim?

    I am making a bobber with the 18 inch rim on the back. It currently has a 130/70 on it. I want to put a 130/90 on it. Will this fit? I want a fat rear tire that fills up the whole space. Will this work? Is their a bigger one that will fit on the rim?

    A 130/70 and a 130/90 are the same width (130mm). The second number is the height as a percentage of the width.

    You need about 1/4" clearance on each side to have room for a 140 tire.
