Cruiser
Factory rear is a 17x5.5 with a 180x55 rear.
Thanks for responding anyway Crusty, I appreciate it
I'm sure you guys can help me out with my response from HDWheels I got today. Though I'm basically a Ninja at designing and creating things I haven't had the luxury of working on Cars/Motorcycles as much as I want to in life. (just body and paint) I do plan on getting down and dirty with my bike but I really don't know jack **** about tire and wheel sizes.
This was my question:
I'm buying a 2012 Wide Glide this winter/spring and want to put a wider tire on the front the size of a Street Bob. I want the same wheel style of black with chrome spokes.
I'm honestly not sure what to ask for in exact sizes to get a quote? Can you help me?
Reply from HDW:
Dyna WG 2012 stock wheels - 21x2.15 (90/90-21 tire) and 17x4.5 (150/60-17 tire) Steel rim, 40 spokes.
21x3.5 (120/70-21 tire), Steel rim, 60 polished stainless steel spokes, Cross lacing, Vivid Black rim, Unfinished aluminum hub - $750
18x5.5 (180/55-18 tire), Steel rim, 60 polished stainless steel spokes, Cross lacing, Vivid Black rim, Unfinished aluminum hub - $700
For 21x3.25 Apollo-SL aluminum rim add $170
For 18x5.25 Apollo-SL aluminum rim add $250
For Black hub add $40
For S-Cross lacing (Aluminum rim only) add $65
Maybe I read it wrong on the tire specs from the HD site but are those the right sizes for the stock Wide Glide? And would I want 60 spokes on the new wheel? And how do the sizes they quoted compare to the size on the Street Bob's front wheel that seems different on the HD site too?
Thanks if anyone can spell this out to me....

Factory rear rim size is 17x4.5
The quote the give you is the sizes I put on give you better tyre choice if putting a 120x21 on the front the 18x5.5 let's you put a lower profile tyre on the back which feel more stable as well
21x3.5 (120/70-21 tire), Steel rim, 60 polished stainless steel spokes, Cross lacing, Vivid Black rim, Unfinished aluminum hub - $750
18x5.5 (180/55-18 tire), Steel rim, 60 polished stainless steel spokes, Cross lacing, Vivid Black rim, Unfinished aluminum hub - $700
Good size choice if upgrading wheels and wanting 120 tyre on front

Did you use the stock risers with those apes? I have 14" Evil Apes that will be going on a 2012 WG I have on order, and am wondering how they'll look with the taller risers (I believe the stock risers are 4", right?).
Thanks,
Mark
