Anyone done this cause the bike shop says it will affect cornering etc. I use the bike for driving to work and back. thats about it. Thanx in advance

You can 180/55R17... You just need to buy a wider wheel.
I fitted a wider GSXR rear wheel on my SV650. Generally I use 180/55R17... But, the one on the picture below is a 190/50R17...
On the stock SV650 wheel the 180/55 profile would be distorted and handeling will suffer.
I would not do it!!! If you do it anyway, be careful cornering... Remember crashing is expensive!!!
