Just installed a new let of custom wheels on my '95 Roadking. they are 16" X 3 1/2" wide. Does anyone know the width of the original wheels on this model. When I re-mounted my dunlop wide white-walls; it seems that the whole package (tires & wheels together) are much wider than they once was.The outside edge of the whitewalls next to the rim seems to stand out farther than it did with my stock spokes that I had and I'm having a big problem trying to adjust my rear wheel spacers to prevent the white edge of the tire from rubbing against the upper shock mount bolts and ect. I am running a MU-85/16 tire on the rear which is the same tire I was running before the wheel change and had no problems until now. Could anyone please help me out here??? thanks!!!!!!

 

Just a suggestion, but make sure that you have put all the original spacers and what knot back in. When I changed the tire on my sporty, I didnt realize that my rear brake is also a spacer and the axle goes through it. I noticed that well before I got it off the jack, but make sure you just check all that stuff out.

 

thanks j.....i checked all that and i think the problem is the rims are just wider than stock spoke rims and the mu-85 along with a wider rim is gonna be hard to work with. i may end up having to go with a more narrow tire.
