I personally have never dragged the sidestand, only exhaust and footpegs on the track. Go to your local dealer of any brand and measure the circumference of the 180 tire, then measure the circumference of the 160 you have on the bike. That will show you if the 180 you are looking at will raise the back of the bike. You can also use an afermarket shock with ride height adjustment or a longer shock from a post 99 SS.
formula for radius is: R=C/(2*PI)
Radius will tell you how much the rear ride height will change with an unloaded tire.
