it should have a 17x5.5inch wheel in it already from standard. anything else is not original.

the standard 5.5inch with a 180 tyre fits without an issue cause that is the standard fitment.

if you go with a 6inch wheel and put a 190 tyre on it you may have to go to a 520 chain as they are narrower and space out the front sprocket a touch.

my race bike has a 6inch marvic mag wheel with a 180tyre and 520 chain and my turbo bike is getting a 6inch wheel with a 530chain at the moment. the wheel is a gix1000 wheel and needs alot of machining.
