I believe a 140 is as wide as you can go.

You may have to have the chain adjusters maxed out to get a 140 in there, anyone out there running a 140 on stock swing arm? Im interested to know also.

I have a MU90-16 which is a 140/90-16.
I had to run the tire back, and use an angle grinder on the edges to get it to not rub on the swing arm, cut out the chain guard, bend the brake strut.
Not worth it on a stock bike. Except it was a freebie.
On a hard tail that can run a wide tire use what ever you want, there are people that sell an offset front sprocket to run wider tires. Some fit inside the left side cover, some need the cover spaced out.
