Evening All ( showing my age )
Thinking of treating myself to some new wheels.
Currently the usual 3.00 x 10 tyres on but a few of the better value deals are 3.50 x 10
I'm not sure but would the slightly wider tyre cause any issue other than clearing exhaust etc ?

Just stuck a 350 on my smallframe to see if it fits (front only) and all was ok, so I only think the exhaust clearance is what you need to think about 👍

Perfect Thanks  I will check rear wheel / exhaust gap at weekend , I wouldn't have thought half an inch would be an issue. |

You may need to grind the side of the swing arm away a bit depending on how wide the tyre is your using

they can be a little tight on the exhaust mount

as rhys an tz said . but it can all depend on the profile of which brand of tyre your going for . H

Thanks all
Didnt bother splashing out on a complete new set after all .
Just got a set of BGM rims for £45 , nothing fancy but seem good quality and stuck the old tubes / tyres on 3.00 x 10 as they had decent tread left.
The old ones weren't as bad as I thought when I took them off and cleaned off a bit of surface rust ( think one was yours Henri )
Anyway , I have a couple of spare rims if anybody in need . Maybe a coat of paint to " freshen up " for spring
Only done the front as its dark when I get back from work so will do the back at weekend.
Roll on spring !!!
