Rim Swap Question

[librathe13th]

I have a 12 rss with 15inch rims stock. I found a set of unused 14inch rims I would like to put on. I don't want to go smaller but I really like these rims. My question is with going to a smaller rim will that be a issue for the computer system of the bike? I don't want codes going off when I am taking corners. Any suggestions are welcomed.

As I see it..!!

you could compensate by going with a higher profile tire. I don't think the difference was that much if you stick with the stock sizes the original rims had on them. A few measurements and tire spec's could put your mind at ease and keep nanny quiet...:thumbup:

Won't the smaller rims interfere with the bigger brakes ?

2012 RSS didn't have 15 inch wheels or the bigger Brembo brakes they didn't come out till 13 unless someone put the 13 wheels on it

Since 15 inch front wheels were introduced as a brand new feature for the 2013 model year. I am very sceptical that you got 15 inch wheel on your 2012 from the factory. Dealer switch maybe?

:agree: What's the story here? :dontknow:

Anyway...yes 14" wheels fit on a 12'. Are they RS wheels or RT wheels?

 

[Bob Denman]

Good point, :thumbup:
RT wheels will fit; you'll have to play with the fender offset, to get them back over the wheels... :2thumbs:

You may wanna double check that 14 inch 6 open spoke wheel for 2012

2013 was the start for 15 inch wheels . That was one of the reasons I purchased a 13

how about posting a pic of your bike

That's what I thought. The 15" wheels were necessitated by the bigger Brembo brakes.

Which the 2012 RS-S lacks... :dontknow:

 

[billybovine]

2012 RSS wheel and tire specs. there is no mention of a 15 inch front wheel.

as long as the wheels clear the brakes all that counts is the overall diameter & rolling circumference
