um....drop a profile size (or two)-problem solved?
bigger wheels just means thinner tyres. I don't see a problem unless you go 19+ inch wheels.

What is the absolute maximum tyre width you've used with standard mags? Ie. 2??/65 without rolling the guards. I want to use 215s. Will they fit without rolling?

also depends on the offset of your mags

i have 205's on mine and i had to roll the guards (it is lowered though) but i've seen a pulsar with 225's on them without the guards rolled, all because their rims sit closer to the hub
