I like the stance the larger wheels provide on the 3rd picture. Not sure how I feel about the fenders not fitting over the tires though...But that's part of the fun, change it up as YOU like!

As far as your speed, to get an accurate measure, compare it with your GPS.

Kong that is a very good looking Spyder. I really like the look the 16" wheels give it.

Nice look, be interested to see if you get wet on a wet street from the overhang on the tires to the fenders.

Did you put 16" wheels front and back ?

Its your bike and you are free to do what you please, but I don't get why you would do it in the first place. Personally I think that the engineers who designed my Spyder know a lot better than myself as to what size wheels should be on this bike. Seems a lot of effort to me just to get a change of appearance.

Engineers are part of a team that brings a product to market, but not the sole part. Part are artists and part are marketers, and so on. The size of the wheels MAY be done by engineers, but it also may be dictated by marketers or artists. We don't really know. What we do know is Can Am is married to Kenda and the stock size of our tires are very odd and difficult to find outside of the Spyder/Kenda ecosystem. So, it could lead to the conclusion that tire and wheel sizing is dictated by marketers trying to bring Spyder owners back to the dealership for expensive servicing/tire replacement. Which is a common thing in the motoring world now-a-days.
To Kong, good job and rock-on.

That could be part of it, but I really think it is more a combination of market size, design parameters for Spyder tires, and Federal regulations over tire labeling. I've discussed this in the past here on the forum.
