yes i have .5 inch offset clamps with a pirelli 90/80/17 theres about 5/8 in. of clearance,so what is the normal clearance needed for a prostreet. what kind of 16in wheel do you have

the main thing you need to look at is how much cleaqrance you have once you forks are compressed.

i have compressed the forks as far as i could using tiedown straps on my table lift and actually gained some clearance. the center of the tire went above the turbo and gave some clearance

Actually I tried the same thing and had about the same in clearance but I didn't want to take the chance in wiping out during braking. There are some that do use the 17 inch wheel but I didn't like it. I went to a 16 honda cbr wheel, and a low profile tire. I just feel safer that way. Ronnie use 17 inch wheels on his ps bikes all the time. So I guess if your doing it right than it safe. I did look at his at the trake one day and he had about a 1inch of clearance.

Pro-Street bikes running a 17 wheel with a turbo run either a michelin 120-60-17 in a power pure model

Yes it is .That is why in a 17 inch on pst you only see the michelin power pure or pilot power
