If you're concerned about handling performance you should swap the swing-arm and wheel off a modern bike. Right now you have very rigid front suspension and a very flexible rear.

Here is my unsolicited advice; Don't waste your money on a new wheel and spokes. for what that costs you could probably find a rear end to swap and still have a little money left over for some machine work. If you are dying to get this thing on the road and ride for the summer just throw a 120 on your existing wheel and ride. 20-30 mm of width on the tire isn't going to be noticeable until you balance the front end you have put on there. Ignoring that, if you still want to build a wheel; I would match the front with a 17 in the widest tire you can fit and pick the manufacturers suggested rim width for the tire you plan on running.

350F has pretty much same swing arm as CB350 twin or CB360.
The 'advice' to put a 120 tyre on stock 1.85rim is BAD and will cause way more problems than it 'solves'.
You would be better to fit a 110 front tyre (even though they are way more expensive than 120's) then fit the widest rear 17" wheel that matches front (probably early GS500twin?) As they have same cush drive dimensions as larger bikes you can mix and match to keep chain in line with sprocket (may also need some machining?)You WILL need new spacers.
Honda XR200 swing arm is a direct swap in CB360, can't remember if 350f has same frame width (been a few years since I 'played' with the one I have although I think I swapped swing arm for 360 one)
CrazyPJ makes good points, and Tune-A-Fish's fz swingarm looks right at home......
if it were me, I'd hunt down the swingarm and rear wheel Tune pictured with a 140 rear tire on that (might need offset sprockets) and swap front tire to a 110.
