Author Message   Crazydiamond Posted on Wednesday, October 03, 2007 - 06:05 pm:        My neighbor said he can sell me a new 190 Diablo cheap. Will it fit on my '01 S3T with all the guards in place?   Crazydiamond Posted on Wednesday, October 03, 2007 - 06:06 pm:        Forgot to mention I have PM wheels   Bad_karma Posted on Thursday, October 04, 2007 - 12:38 am:        Mike Check the manufactures website for wheel size recommendations. I'm not sure about the S3's inner fender clearance, but when I put the 180 on the back of my 96 S1 w/PM's I had interference problems with the inner fender.

You can squeeze one onto a 5'5" rim but the profile will be changed and your handling will most likely suffer. With that being said, Ducati fitted 190's from the factory on the original 916's with a 5.5" rim. Most of the magazines at the time said it handled better with an appropriate 180 series tire though. Since your rim is 5.5" the largest you should go technically would be a 180.
