Funny I just found this thread and I just emailed Buchannans too. I have a 16" wheel and I have a replacement rim to go wider. What was shipping like to Buchannans and back? Also, does anyone know what size 200 wide 16" tire I would need? I've been sitting on this project for a long time, and I just failed my inspection cause of my rear tire, so it's time...

I went with 200mm/16" and 1 Avon and 1 Metz are the only tires that are 200mm/16, go 200mm/17" and you get a choice of 3 or 4 more tires. Think sprocket change as well. a 43-44 tooth rear or a 16 T front, unless you can deal with 16-17 MPH at idle in first. Make sure the inner of your rear fender is unobtrusive as well. Your putting 3 Lbs of baloney in a 3 Lbs bag. Oh yeah, if it was me to do over, forget about using the chainguard any more or give it a proper trim job. A precision chain/sprocket alignment is the goal here as well. Man, them big tires are expensive!

Thanks for the advice! I found the Metz for $220 online, so it's not horrible.
