SE50, SA50, (all years), and Metro rear rims all fit. The part numbers differ with color, supplier... But they fit.

A 90 x 90 x10 is the largest tire that can be used, if you use a tube with it you can use an offset shock or a high neck shock with a short spring.

Yes the Met rim is 2.15", sized to shape the 90/90 x10 tire correctly.
The best part is that it's safe to run it tubeless, unlike the 1.85" Elite and Aero rims.
Some tire brands vary in physical size, despite being nominally the same. Pirelli SL26 has worked well for me, $25 a pop at MotorcycleSuperstore.com.

I think I'm going with the Pirelli and the metro wheel.same setup as you.it will be nice to have a wider well and tire also. Do you run your stock back shock?i was wondering about clearance with the wider wheel and tire.

No clearance problems with 90/90 tire and stock damper in normal position. Upgrade shock if you can, the stocker sucks. DayWot and others have affordable ones. RedEftperformance may have the Holy Grail Malossi.
