I have a Metzeler 180/55R17 stuffed under the rear of my '86 and I have about 1/4 inch clearance on the chain and brake arm. I am kinda happy with the way it "slowed down" the turning. I felt the bike was a little too quick to lay over with the stock size tires and mine didn't have the traction to handle it. Rolling onto the gas mid turn in second and having the rear end start to come loose is scary.
