Will a ruckus wheel fint underneath a metropolitan? My rear wheel is bent somewhere and walks around a bit. I havent seen alot of rear wheels for metros listed but Ruckus ones seem quite frequent. If its a will work with mod i.e. remove inner fender etc thats fine too. thanks for the info

Don't think the Ruckus wheel would work without the ruck swingarm. I'm pretty sure the ruck wheel is .5 wider? I know you can't go much bigger than the stock 90/90/10 tire because it won't clear the engine casing with the Metro swingarm.

the ruckus rim is offset from the met swingarm will be off center by about 1.5 inch i have dio met and ruck rims if you need . Dont think it will clear met shock since its mounted on the transmission case instead of the swingarm ,will be off center toward the shock and wider.
with ruckus swingarm u need to use ruck rim not the met rim tire will not be centered it will be offset about 1.5 inch away from shock.

Tire is going to be too big for the met swingarm. Might as well do a ruck swing while you're at it.

quoted for mothafuckn truth.

I first wanted a ruck swing arm... Then a stretch. A week later my bike was laying in shambles, in surgery over at TT-350z's house getting an ass transplant. Hours later a mild mannered metropolitan became "Gretchen, the metuckus"
