83CM250C

Hi all I have a new old stock 110/80 18 Battlax that I would like to install on the '83 CM250C where Honda calls for 3.25 S18 tire (info from original sticker on the bike). 110 divided by 25.4 =4.33. I would go with a 4/4.5 tube but want to know that the Battlax isn't too wide to be safe on the rim. The rim is stamped 18X1.85. I like the idea of the wider front due to intended usage and there is plenty of room inside the fender. I did check the guide that resident guru here supplied, and it's not in the recommended range. The Battlax is 20mm wider than the Kenda that's on it; I think it would stay on the rim. Thanks in advance for experienced comment.
