If you mean the 4JH foxeye 600, then no.

I have a 600 wheel in the garage from the donor for my hybrid and it don't fit in my 3TJ! It's also an extra half inch wider.

so there was only one thing that I could do,
was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long!

Why would you want a wider tyre? The 160 on the 3TJ more than wide enough. Wider and you'll get a worse handeling bike.

More rubber? The Foxeye has a 160 as standard!
The trend for wider rear tyres was started as a marketing ploy, you only need a tyre bigger than a 160/170 when you start making silly power upwards of 150rwhp. Not likely from a foxeye lump... :D

Added to that, the 600 wheel is significantly beefier too. Lots more weight.

Just as an aside, the front wheels are interchangeable between the foxeye and 3TJ. Discs too!

Actually, now I think about it there is a suprising number of parts on the 4JH 600 that are stamped either 1WG or 3TJ....

a 160 tyre should turn faster than a 180/190.

And the 3TJ will turn faster than the 600 due to the 600's tyre sitting "flatter" to the road. The rear brake disc and hanger is different too.

Your better off leaving the TJ wheel in there.
