It will take at least a 5.5 width for the 200. I have a 200 on mine with the 18 21 bmw wheelset which is 5.5 x18. . The pref would be 6 as per the walzwerk set.
Is the wider rear for cosmetic effect only or does it bring more to the bike?

I’ll let you decide.
This is walzwerk’s pic with the 200 cus I’m not at home right now. Fits puurrrrfectThere are two things on the r18 FE that I couldn’t figure out why they did it the way that they did. The first is the oil cooler the second is the weird backend where the fender and wheel look like they are from different bikes.
So can I fit a 200 section tyre using the original rim? Agree with you regarding the back end. Haven't made the most of it.I’ll let you decide.

Yes if yours came with a 5.5 or wider rim. I think the stockers are 5. Best to check with someone smarter than I.

Then no go on the classic. GLM 36... bunch of numbers 16"x MT5.00 H2. That's stamp on the wheel. I gather (didn't look at the manual) that's a 16x5. No way I am paying $3k for a set of wheels from Walz. Go with a MU90 tire?
