    Wider rim

    What rims will fit a stock gs 1100 swingarm along with sprockets and rotor. I would like to go about 5.5 inch wide. Thanks

      I believe the widest you can fit is 4.5 inches.
      My wheel comes from a GSXR 1100 K.
      The 160 tire just clears the swingarm
      Here are some pictures:

          Did you use the gs axle, sprocket and brake rotor?

              I have a 5.5 in a gs1100e swingarm on my 78 gs1000.
              I used a mix and match gsxr and gs spacer to fit the wheel.
              I went with the underslung gsxr caliper too.

                  The axle is from the GS, the rest is from the GSXR 1100 K donor.
                  You need 6mm spacers on eitheir side as the GS swingarm is wider than the GSXR.
                  You will also need a 13 mm offset front sprocket for the chain to line up...
                  The chain will of course have to be a 530 model
