Could always just stick a car tyre in there and be done with it...

If you want to go wider, then search for threads on doing it properly by changing the rear wheel for something else.

No reason to do it, it makes it a bit odd. Hard to describe how.
Only reason I tried it is because I had a puncture and a 180 kicking about.

I'm fairly sure I know more than the engineers at suzuki about my use of the bike... hence why I've modified it to suit that use. I'm of opinion that you should use a different wheel if you want 180 on there, there are more choices of compound and cheap scrubs in that size which is nice.
