I can get a 6mm Allen key between the tyre and the swingarm, all the way around, but I can't get an 8mm one in. I don't have a 7mm one long enough to try.

I think, that 6mm is enough, but surely rubber is material, what is not all time same position, but surely, if it hits to swingarm, then tehre must be some signs about that. I think, there is not any problem to fit those tires to Paso 166" wheels, but "look of bike" is not so good, as with low profile Michelins. That is surely important to me, casue 750 Paso is designed to low profile tires. We can only cross fingers, that Michelin continues make those tires... :thumbup: Btw, Good job, Paul! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
