5in rim with a 160/60/17. Right now the chain hits the tire. I am going to try a non o-ring or maybe shave the tire a little.

BDI:
You should try changing the wheel offset. You can move the wheel over by loosening the spokes on the sprocket side and tightening the spokes on the rotor side. You can move the rim to hub offset a bunch by doing this. You go around the wheel once and loosen all the spokes on the sprocket side 1/4 turn and then go around the wheel once again and tighten the spokes on the rotor side 1/4 turn. Start and stop in the same spot every time and make sure you keep everything equil. Repeat this until you get the desired wheel offset.

muleman:
Yeah I have seen people do that but in my case I just can't =). I am going to try a chain slider and maybe a non o-ring chain there 2mm thinner.

BDI:
 wonder if you could rig up offset sprockets. You could run a spacer between the rear sprocket and the hub and maybe machine the front sprocket to make it thiner in the middle and then put a spacer behind it.You may even be able to buy them, these ones are made by talon and they look like they might work on a kx500. Then all you would need is a sweet spacer for the back sprocket.

muleman:
Very intresting :-D. I like the way you think lol.
