Default Do I need a wider rim for a wider tire?

I have a 98 wide glide with a stock rear spoked wheel. It currently has a MT90B16 tire on it that needs to be replaced. I would love to put the widest tire I can on it. What is the biggest tire I can put on this rim? What rim could I change to in order to fit the biggest tire possible under a stock fender?
&nbsp\\;
thanks
Tom

&nbsp\\;dont know what size tire will fit on the rim, but look how much space youve got between the tire and belt,and the swing arm,, not much,,, mines the same way. 130/90/b16.. stock tire,, dunlop. i will not be useing this tire again,, its chopping bad. and my front (stock) is bald at the sides(hard corners??)...anyway,,,,,,,,, mine has very little room next to the belt. hope this helps..
