Had wide rims on mine with 100/90 tyre. Fitted ok but valve is close to catching and not much space with link bolts.

Running wide rims with 350/10 on now as I found the turning when slow a bit heavy.

I have several sets of wide rims and have noticed that some are wider than others......

I've ran wide back and front on my GP for the 11 years - rightly or wrongly its had plenty of use and I can't think of any adverse effects or issues.

I use standard on the SX so have a comparison with same TS1 motor.

Both run 350x10 S1s

Wide rims don't fit with my outboard disc brake, it fouled the disc.

I had the same issue with fitting wide rims and an outside disc , i just trimmed a bit off the caliper to make it fit ,
