Will a 140-80-18 rear tire fit on the front of a 89 gl1500 CSC trike or stay with the 130-70-18 rear tire for the front. Thanks

In a word / Nope!! <br />
Now why by dimension, the rim is 3.50" X 18"<br />
<br />
Tire #1 Stock- 130mm - 70% X 18"<br />
or 5.25" - 3 5/8" X 18"<br />
91mm <br />
<br />
<br />
Tire #2 140mm - 80% X 18"<br />
or 5.54" - 4 7/16" X 18"<br />
112mm<br />
<br />
Tire in MM converted to inches X Aspect Ratio % of width X Diameter , so maybe if the approx. 1/2" width and the 1 1/8" height will clear and I doubt it will..... but I see no reason to be so close tolerance to the fender or fork, a spinning tire will grow even taller. FYI
