I've got a WR-X, came with a 140 rear tire. Anyone think a 160 will be too wide? I'm looking more for a steeper profile than anything. With the rim being the same width the tire when mounted shouldn't be much wider should it?

No one has any insight for me?

You can probably put a 160 on it, but a 150 or 155 would work better. You're probably going to run into chain rub issues. I know that the pros are running 160s, but those bikes have a bit more ooomph than yours.
