it touches by a hair. See below.Let us know, how much chain hits to side of rear tire, or do it so at all... Are you planning to change chain line offset?
From retaining ring to outer edge of the drive shaft there`re 3,55mm (on my bike) so the most simple thing would be to have a 3,5mm spacer made for the front sprocket and one for the rear that has minimum the same thickness. (for german TUV chain tire clearance would still be too small) A 2 or 3mm wider spacer in the rear would slightly misalign the chain but the additional sprocket and chain wear would probably be acceptable. (You`ll need to measure yourself on your bike, it could be different)
Offsetting the wheel is very hard in the original swingarm as this would involve removing material from the brake caliper bracket or the brake caliper bracket and the right excenter.
I don`t want to machine existing parts. I don`t want to weld a machined old sprocket to the existing sprocket to offset or don`t want to machine the inner section of the existing front sprocket so the retainer ring sits deeper allowing a thicker spacer in the front (well maybe that would still be acceptable depending how it`s done). I wouldn`t like to run into problems when I have to replace a sprocket with a new one which then required the same modifications.
There`re several other reasons like ie bike geometry, that made me decide to go for the 907ie swingarm although it makes me run into some new problem (P750 brake caliper bracket won`t go with the 907ie swingarm, 907ie brake caliper bracket not with the P750 rear brake disc)
Btw. I wonder how it was done to use a 8mm spacer on the rear. There`s only 10mm clearance between the rear sprocket bolts and the swingarm...
... am meanwhile doubting it stronglyI hope she'll be ready for the celebration
simple and smart. The easiest solution. But you`re changing steering angle. Both new front and rear wheel are higher than the old ones. The bike will lift ca. 15-17mm front and rear. With rotating the excenter you`re lowering the rear which should impact the agility of the bike (theoretically).Instead of having the rear wheel chain adjuster at the 6 o' clock position, why not put it in the 12 o' clock position? This is what I did when I fitted an Avon Azaro AV-46 150/80ZR16, and the side and centre stands are now ok.
If you just used a higher rear tire and kept the old front you can also turn it upside down. That should bring it back to the height level it was with the old rear tire.

PS: I know the chain is rusty. It`s an old, dry one I only use for testing.
