Not "wrong size" narrow but enough to make me check the sidewall to double check they were 190's...thanks northwestern
A 5.5" rim is the correct width for a 180 although you can fit wider/narrower of course. You can't, for example, have a 5.5" off a different bike that needs a 190 etc. If it is 5.5" then the problem can only be the tyre is what I am saying really.
I have a std fazer rear wheel kicking about in the garage...
I will take it to another garage and get another eye on this as the tyre was never blow up with air the guy said they was to much space around tyre to the rim and tyre is brand new which is Michelin PR4 :rolleyes
