Widest rear tire. typical supermoto setup
ZETTNORCAL:
What is the widest rear tire that will fit on a 17"at not interfere with the chain. 160? This will be on my 04 KX250f/500 conversion. I just got it California plated!!!

Good Deal Zett! :-D
Sorry I don't have a clue about the tire, But I also think this would be a cool canyon runner/ Dash to work set-up.
Without divulging anything you may not want to share, Is your bike "Experimental" by any chance?

I run a 150 on my 500..
160 would fit.. But needs offset, and still rubs chain alot...

What is your rim width? I ran a 4.25" wide rim with a 160 and no clearance issues, BUT, it really screws with the profile of the tire, The 4.25" rim should have a 150 tire and the 160 should be used with at least a 4.5" or 5".
