What is the width of the 1600 Nomad rear wheel?

Specs online didn't show wheel width anywhere. Even Kawasaki Customer Support couldn't answer this question.
Is the size stamped anywhere on the rear wheel?

The reason I'm asking is I just ordered Dunlop Elite 3 tires in bias ply, 160/80HB-16 for the rear. The recommended wheel width is 3.5" wide for the 160/80-16. I called Dunlop and spoke to their tech dept. and they said 3.5"- 4.5" is acceptable for the 160/80HB-16 bias tire. I'm wondering if our rear wheel is wider then 4.5" the measurement is taken on the inside edges where the bead sits against the wheel.

Thanks

They are reliable 4.5'. I'm sorry I couldn't answer sooner. I just wanted to check my facts. I had my tire off earlier this week I and I didn't see you question
