RE: widest rear tire
A 140/90/16 will fit with no modifications. Ichanged to a 160/60/18 and went with a rear chain. I didn't have to move the tranny over and just went with the sprocket conversion.I have a 4.25" rim with a 46 tooth sprocket.I had to go with a8.5" fender and custom struts.

RE: widest rear tire
I have a 1993 Springer Softail and Dunlap 140/90. The drive belt will rub up against the tire when the tire is inflated over 30 psi and I hit turns or bumps. The belt is all the way over to the left on the primary sprocket so a spacer will not work. It is an aftermarket wheel so that may be the problem. It does not dig into the tire...just makes some cosmetic marks. I am still unsure what I am going to do.
