Bead width?

Maybe I sould post this under it's own thread
Okay, Here's a question. As you all know I'm slowly converting my Ruck to the dio fork set up. Well I noticed yesterday, just before I was taking my rims in to get my rubber changed over, that there was a difference in the rims. The stock rim has a bead width of 3.00in and the Dio rim is 2.15. So the Dio's are narrower by .85in. Will this be a problem in mounting the stock rubber. I noticed Smacky went to Boppers when he changed over but when I checked all the tire sites none of them mention bead width. Personally I don't think it should be a problem but I wanted to touch base with the sage techies here at RC.

Ok the Dio Z4, have skinier tires than our rucki, if i am not mistaken they use the same size as the metro, that said, installing the ruckus tires should be no problem, they might look bulgy and wierd but they should work ok, of course having the right size wheel would give you an incredible riding scooter, as the sidewalls in the normal position are stifer and nicer, but with a narrow wheel the curving in the sidewall allow them to flex more, now all this is theory, the seat of your pant feeling might not even notice it, so go for it ;D
