Default ordered my 21 inch rim now to shop tires

found a direct fit from a company called mototecks
its a dna rim 21x3.5 60 spoke sealed so i dont have to run a tube,said for my yr and model they wont use a sealed bearing pm,ed him back and forth
said he would use a timken bearing , for 3/4 axle .
also all my factory hardware will bolt right up, rotor, spacers axle.. for 370 bucks
seems like a good price, they build to order going to take like 3 weeks but worth the wait

now to shop tires lol

I ran a Pirelli Night Dragon same exact size on my 21x2.15 rim and I loved it.
that's a nice price on a good looking wheel. I hope you update the thread top report on its performance!

Hopefully I’ll be ok with a 3.5 front and a 3 rear. Seeing I did go up a tire size on the rear to a 150/80 from a 130/90
and I’ll definitely get a 120/70 tire for the front.
might run no fender. Or get the fender adapters to raise it a inch

If your running the stock belt a 150 on the rear will not clear the belt... A 140 will but not a 150..

Well previous owner did the swap I guess he did everything needed. Cause I went out and looked at the tire and it’s a 150

You will be fine. That's what I am running. 130 / 90 16 on the back and 130/60 21 on the front. Had a dunlop elite 3 that lasted pretty good but it was discontinued. Put a shinko 777 on after that. Good and sticky but didnt get a lot of miles on it. And now i have a bridgestone battlecruise on there. Handles good and seems to be wearing nice and even but only have 3k on it so far.

I’ll have to look into the 130/60/21 tire. 120/70 seems tall but on a 3.5 rim it might work just as well And all the 3.5 I seen run a 120/70. More common of a tire I think
