Has anyone tried a 190 rear tire on a 2006 R6? What where the results?

I dont think the rim is wide enough. Isn't it a 5.5? Shouldn't you have a 6" to run a 190 properly? A 190 will look cooler to some folks but a well scrubbed out 180 will look better.

Switching to the wider 190 would actually limit your handling characteristics because it would curve the tire more to fit the too narrow rim.
