I got a 4.00-18 for the rear and 3.50-19 for the front. A 3.25-19 front would be ideal, but it is a hard size to find. The 241 in 19" comes in 2.75 and 3.50. I think the 2.75 would just be too small for this bike, so went with the 3.50. I'll probably either have to modify the front fender I've been using, or use a different one.
I'm waiting on new wheel bearings before putting them on the bike.
The Shinko tire spec page lists the rear as being 4.25" wide and the front at 3.66". Mine measure at the widest point 4.52" rear on the 2.15" rim, and the front 3.95" on the 1.85" rim.
I wanted to get the rear mounted to check clearance with the swingarm before repainting it, in case it needed any changes. The stock 16" wheel and tire are wider, but shorter so don't go up to the front of the swingarm as much where it narrows. This is with the adjusters fully forward, and still plenty of clearance.
