Anybody running this size rear tire on their 1600 nomad? Wondering if it will fit.

I run a 205/60-16. a 65 should fit, but the tire will be just a little taller, and you'll lose a little torque.

Thanks. I'll check it out. Any one else know for sure???

You might try making a post on the Delphi darkside forum. Its dedicated to people running car tires on their bikes. I had a 195/65-16 CT on my '05 1600 for awhile and had just a sliver of clearance between the sidewall and swingarm.
