Default New rims and tires for my street bob...will they work???

So I have finally decided to put some money into a new set of rims and tires for my '13 street bob. For the front, I want to go with a 120/70/21 on a 21x3.25 rim. For the rear, I want to go with a 180/55/18 on a 18x5.5 rim. Does anyone with experience in this field foresee any problems with this setup before I pull the trigger? I have the detachable hardware kit installed for my sissy bar so I don't need the wide tire brackets in the back for better wire clearance--they're tucked tightly already. Just wondering if there's anything else I'm overlooking that will give me unforeseen issues (belt clearance, offsets, spacers, etc.) Thanks in advance!!

Call me in a few hours I can answer all your questions. Only possible issue is the front fender with the wider tire and use an Avon Cobra on teh rear to ensure you have clearance.

This is a common swap for Dyna's. No wide tire kit needed, that is a MoCo product that is not necessary with the proper set up.

I'll be in the shop in about 2.5 hours.
