    5.5j 3 spokes fit.

    5j will with a 5mm spacer.

    I would rather a bigger wheel with the xe, it will spin like buggery on 3 spokes

    so use less revs, and go faster with the traction you've got....

    matt, have you ever seen the F.A.S.T drag racing series? v8 muscle, on 6" wide rims..... running proper period tyres..... doing sub 10 second quarters

    Factory Appearance, Stock Tyres.. its quite a good spectacle

    Yes, but most people shove ditchfinders on?

    He can make his own mind up now!

    I see a hayabusa daily, 9s 1/4s on a tiny contact patch.

    Makes the cars tyres look huge!

    I have had 3 spokes with BIG brakes on before but had to use 10mm spacers to clear them and still fits under arches with 60mm lowering so easily done!
