It will fit but that's too big for the stock rim size.

Stock rear is WM2 (1.85"), front is WM1 (1.60"), at least on my European market RD350A.

2.15 rim and some swingarm grinding off of the wrap around gusset at the front. Run the chain adjustment from half to all the way back and will work fine.
