The maximum width that'll fit is a 5 or a 5.25" wheel with a 160 tyre although you can squeeze a 160 tyre onto an RGV 4.5" rim. You may also need to adjust the rear brake rod to clear the tyre. a 180 tyre needs a 6" rim and thats way too wide to fit. Plus don't forget you'll need to match up the chain run as well as keep the wheel central.
For photos get an account with photobucket (or simular) and host the photos on there and then use the "img /img" tags to post them on here. There are quite a few posts discriping how its done if you do a bit of a search.

a 180 can be fitted on a 5.5 or 6 wheel, a 190 only on a 6
but neither will fit a KR

180 is to big for a small bike. It'll just slow it down unless it just for looks.

When you log in to photobucket it show the link, just click the one that say like this
Copy and paste it here. If you want to upgrade the rear wheel, find 4.5 width. Which will fit a 150 tire.

You want a 4.5 or a 5" rim but beware a lot of wheels (like the ZXR400)don't match the chain run and would need a new crushdrive and sprocket carrier manufactureing.
Known 17" wheels that will fit are RGV VJ22, Aprilla RS250, Later TZ models with a 5.25" rim (not sure which model though). Also Dymag do some nice ones as well if your feeling very flush

Bandit400 fit's also, but it's only 4.0. I have a 160/60 on it, and it's still nicly rounded.
@ Edgar : ok, the wheel is in, but without the sprocket carrier
have you tried that yet ?
