Ive got a K1100 lt and have been looking into wheel changes for the RS wheels, seems easy enough. during the research I noticed that the K bikes have 18 front and 17 rears and the R bikes have 18 rear and 17 front. Has anyone tried the R wheels on a K bike, if so, what happened??

The K1100LT has the 18" front and 17" rear.
The K1100RS has the 17"front and 18" rear.

Most folks just find a rear wheel from an RS and fit that, although they are not always easy to find.

The R wheels have the disc carrier mounted on the wheels spokes.
