You can, not sure what wheel will fit but someone built a track bike on the American forum kept the swingarm stock and fitted a different wheel. Obviously there will be issues with spacers, calliper, axle so may need to custom make these.

I fitted an 3.5" wide rear wheel, 130 tyre, to a standard width JMC swingarm fitted to a 4L0, bit of a machining went in without too much bother.
A YPVS arm is 20mm wider so I'm sure a 600 wheel would fit, chain run may be the only problem.

FZ600 rear wheel is 2.75" wide, OEM Valvie is 2.5 " wide. A whole 1/4" wider... yippee :-)
FZ takes a 120 as stock.
Valvie takes a 100/110 as oem. From experience a 120 rubs the chain onna LC.
Maybe? the Valvie can take a 130. Not something to bet on, as it may be entirely dependant on a particular tire's design .
Not all tires are created equal, so take care in what you buy/fit.

I think you could get away with a 130 on valve but as bare points out not all tyres are the same some 130's mat rub and others not.

As has been said 120 fits no problem but some 130's will rub on the chain.

Most wider wheels will need the chain run moving out as the sprocket is further over so this helps with chain clearance. The limit on an LC frame is the inside of the swingarm pivot area.
