Default Whitewalls on a Sportster

Hello Gentlemen,
I've done some searching, but haven't found the info I'm looking for. I'm hoping you guys can point me in the right direction. I've got a 2008 Sportster XL1200R aka Roadster.

1. What's the max tire size you can put on a stock bike without any modifications?

2. Who makes a nice whitewall, and what are the names of the whitewall? I know of Avon Gangster, but I don't know Michelin or Shinko are called.

3. Where can I see some decent photos different whitewalls on a Sportster?

I like the Avon Gangsters quite a bit, but I'm sure there are other brands/makes I'm unaware of. Feel free to post photos and/or links to other useful threads in this thread that may help answer my questions. Thank you for your help.

Both are stock size. 150/80/15 rear and 100/90/19 front. But they do look wider, which is a big plus.
