Car Tire On Rear
I'm new to this site but it was recommended by someone on a different Kawasaki site.
My question is, has anyone put a car tire on the back of a 2004 Nomad 1500? If so, what luck have you had. I went to the Darkside webpage and didn't find any info. for the 1500. I'm not sure if I can even have one mounted with the stock rim. If anyone has any info., I appreciate hearing from them. Thanks Login or Register to Remove Ads |

I know someone has done it, but I can't remember who or even if it was on this forum. The 1500's have a 3.5" rim width, and I think there is a car tire that is a 175/75/16 but I cant remember the brand of it.

Car Tire On Rear
I did 3 this weekend in my shop.
1 on a 1500 Classic now with Nomad wheels front and back 1 on a 2000 Nomad and 1 on a 2007 900 LT The 1500's I put 195/60-16 Bridgestone Turanza EL400 on and the 900LT has the 195/65-15 General Altimax HP You can use the Dulop SP 5000 195/60-16 or a Vredestein Comtrac 175/75R16 or 195/65R16 I'm sure there is more out there too.

Joe; How tight a fit for clearance are the 195 width tires and how do they look mounted on the 3.5" rims?

I pretty sure there is a Federal tire in the 175 width. If I remeber right, DragonChaser, one of the members here ran that tire for a while on a 1500. I'm sure he'll be along shortly.

Ring,
It fits great between the swing arm. We did take a grinder to the left side just to clear a 1/8" off one spot, but it would have never hit anyway. The tire fits the rim perfect, just takes quite a bit of air to get it seated to the rim. Quote:

Bernsax, you need to do an introduction thread in the new member section so everyone can welcome you. Pictures are also nice for everyone to see.
