Not seeing a benefit to shoe horning an 8" wide tire onna 4.5" wide rim.
Lotsa cons tho.
A 200 tire should be on a 6" rim minimum.
One of my bikes came with a 200mm tire on a 6" wheel, stock. I use a 190 on it as it turns a bit quicker.

Yes, this is a old thread, but to save a new rider from bad info. Just because it's possible, it still should not be done.

I feel bad for street Bob Guy because it looks like his indie and three tire companies have given him poor misleading info.

EDIT: now that i have done a few 100 miles on my bike the 200mm tire is a charm

So if you own a 2013+ street bob and you want 200mm tire? Just put it on there is no need for spacers or anything else

If the tire is rubbing against the wall after the installation it could only mean the engine isn't mounted straight so all you have to do is realign the engine to get both side of your tire cleared of the mud guard.

My mechanic is freaking awesome he did it for me if you guys are in Perth Australia and you want a very good mechanic to work on your bike give Ando a call













Gday mate I’m in Perth have you got contact details for your mechanic ? I want a bigger tyre on my 2020street bob

your street bob is a softail, not a dyna like the one shown above. And the softail street bobs come with an even more narrow 150 tire. I doubt a 200 will fit without more modification
