There are a lot of manufacturing tolerances involved in where the fender ends up in
relation
to the tire, so ya never know.

140 should not be any problem, 150 -might- fit with a fair amount of screwing
around.

Only way to be sure is to buy the kit, it moves the rear hub over to the right
enough
to center the tire in the fender. The bike may pull a bit to the left when you're
done and
not a damn thing you can do about it.
