would i have to change the rim.

Yes

The rims too narrow to take a tyre that wide. Maybe a 170 at a push........................

it's easy only you must change your rear wheel 4,5" with exactly the same but 5,5" from CBR900RR or CBR919RR !I moded my CBR600F2 with 5,5............

Mine has a 180 on the rear. I'm not sure if somenoe changed the rim before I got the bike. It matches the front f2 rim. I never really looked but yesterday changed sprockets and chain and saw the 180 on the tire while I was cleaning up the rim.

Blade`s rim is on my to-do list for winter.
Question- do you have to put the rear brake and caliper from Blade too, or it will work with F2`s???
