What size tire does it look like on the rear of the last pic i posted, obviously it isnt a magna but i would like that size weather i need to get a bigger back rim or not is the question. Would the 170/80/15 look like that if it had that type of fender on it?

Its not really the rim that limits you its the rear of the bike, ie the swingarm and rear frame that will limit your size.

ahh didnt think about that, so the swingarm realy wont allow much bigger of a tire will it. I would need to invest in a custom swingarm to go big and wide in back

The front tire is definitely a Dunlop K555, but it looks like it might be a bit wider than the stock front tire...or maybe it just looks fatter with out the front fender.
