what size is currently on it do u know? Also, if its a large jump, check the overall width of the tyre, as this may be where u have a problem (ie going from 175/15 to 225/17 or something like that)

you'll need to uprate the suspension. Pulsar saloon models are very softly sprung, and large alloys will cause problems. I'm guessing 16" max with standard setup. factory cars have 13" unless I'm mistaken.

f!ck!! 13" to 17" thats a crazy difference!! ur speed/braking/acceleration will be radically altered! I would strongly think that they wont fix (unless factory have a ridiculously high overall radius, as in 65 and u changed to something like 30!) While ur at it, check out this thread:

13" wheels fitted to jap Pulsar are quite skinny (165?) and have a huge profile
