You will run into clearance issues with the rear tyre/swingarm too. The standard rim is 4.5", and things are tight even with an early 5" NX5 wheel. Add to that, that it's very easy to bugger up the handling by fitting wider wheels/tyres.

There's no real issue running the NX5 rear wheel backwards... most don't even realise there are a different number of spokes, let alone that it's on backwards! Paul@TYGA ran one for years! The fitment of the HRC rear wheels differ to the MC28, so you would need a special "cone" adaptor machined.

I agree with MarkR, that's it's probably not the best idea to run race magnesium wheels on the road for everyday use. It hasn't stopped many from doing it though!
