Welcome
WHat wheel is this from? I am not aware of any wheel, 17 inch, that wil just bolt onto the NC24 swinger..
What is the problem with your current wheel? Sure someone will have one if you need one..
140/60 tyres can be had from Bridgestone in BT45 format...plenty of people (and me when I had a 24) use them to great effect..

On the wheel will be some stamped sizes.
You'll see a size on there - 4x18 or 4.5x17 etc.

You'll never get that wheel on...no chance..it is far too wide and there won't be clearance.
If, by some engineering voodoo, it was fitted then your handling would be atrocious.
Are you just trying to fit a larger rear tyre? Don't bother, appreciate the bike for what it is - 20+ year old pice of great engineering....

That part number of that rim, does anybody know what bike that would of came from.
I picked up a spare rim for my 02 F4i a couple years ago and I was just going to put it on today and realized that the hub for the sprocket it different and I need to know what make of bike this came from so I can find the proper parts to hopefully interchange these items.
Thanks.

You haven't given us a part number, just the size.
