Re: wheel swaps
I reckon it will be fine, just buy some race scrubs off ebay for cheap.
After buying a fazer 600 wheel and swingarm, i found out that a 160 fits on the standard rim, and thats a 130/70 standard.

Re: wheel swaps
You should be very careful about just chucking any old tyre size on a rim - to vary from the ecommended tyre/rim width configuration will affect the profile and performance of the tyre. There was a really neat chart which showed what tyres fitted what rim width, but I can't seem to find it 
This was the nearest I could get at present:
17in Tyres Permitted Rim
225*17 1.20/1.40/1.60
60/100*17 1.20/1.40/1.60
70/100*17 1.20/1.40/1.60
250*17 1.40/1.60
275*17 1.40/1.60/1.85
300*17 1.60/1.85/2.15
80/100*17
325*17 1.85/2.15/2.50
350*17
90/80*17
90/90*17
90/100*17
425*17 2.15/2.50/2.75
450*17
460*17
100/100*17
100/90*17
100/80*17
110/90*17
120/80*17 2.50/2.75
510*17
100/70*17 2.50/2.75/3.00
110/80*17
120/90*17
130/80*17 2.50/2.75/3.00/3.50
130/90*17
140/80*17 2.75/3.00/3.50
140/70*17
120/60*17 3.00/3.50
120/70*17
130/60*17 3.00/3.50/4.00
130/70*17
140/70*17 3.50/4.00/4.50
150/60*17
150/70*17
160/60*17 4.00/4.50/5.00
160/70*17
170/60*17 4.00/4.50/5.00/5.50
180/55*17 5.25/5.50/5.75
As for fitting different wheels, it's not so much a case of the wheels fitting, but making up spindle and disc spacers to suit
Bearings can sometimes be swapped to allow for different spindle diameters, rather than making new spindles too

Re: wheel swaps
If you want a dynojet kit for the bike let me know and I'll price one for you, I can do them cheaper than most places, and if you need it installing and setting up on my dyno I'll do that as well.
