I know that on cars, you can fudge the size a little without hurting anything, but how set in stone are the size tires that a bike needs to be safe? with respect to width and aspect ratio

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Depends on the bike. A shaft GS bike has only so much room for a rear tire. A typical 130 90 16 (or 17, depending on the rim diameter), is the widest that can safely be installed. A 140 90 16 may rub the swingarm. I wouldn't deviate from a 130 90 rear tire on a big shaft GS bike. Maybe the chain GS bikes may give more flexibility in this area, but I don't know for sure.
On the front one can use a 100 90 19 or 110 90 19, and either one will fit and be safe. I can only speak for the 850, 1000, and 1100 G bikes.

90/90 and 100/90
90/90 and 100/90
for the front, going from a 90/90-19 to 100/100-19 worked fine for me. 100 and 110 widths are a lot easier to find these days.

On the 83 750E that I have you can't even go to a 130 rear without hiting the chain
