surely I would match the rim to tire.
out of curiosity im going to check the rim for actual specs...
but our cst tire states a recommended rim size of 3.75, which is more or less what i measured manually of the rim.

So when i looked up the proper rim width/tire width match, it noted the 160 was a valid combination.
then changing the ratio to 60, you can match the over all diameter of the original.

Then of course we could always change the rim...
which is apparently what Dan has done.
cuz i didnt bother to measure between rear forks, but I didn't imagine a 205 could fit ever. therefore really i hope Dan can manage to post the pics.
