200/50 R17 Installation

Orginally my 180,under more load,finally gave in to rubbing down the center. The 190/55 R17 replacement rubbed as well. Found a 200/50 R17 and installed it(without modifications).

Was relieved not to have to remove anything. The 200 is 4.5mm shorter than the 190 which makes the clearance of the swingarm.

However,to me, it does not look any bigger than the previous two. idk. could be me.

Heres the clearance shot:

Heres a side shot:

Heres a rear shot:

Heres where the 190 & 180 smoothed out the weld beads:

the 190/55 r17 & 180/55 r17 both showed signs of rubbing down the middle. Given that im 250lbs,shock adjusted accordingly, with 50lbs of other gear, & 35lbs on a full tank, it was enough to split the tires down the middle with a crevice.
