Default Questions on wheels.

Ok So i own a 2015 fatboy lo and I know that it has stock 17" wheels. My question to you guys is I love the Breakout turbine wheel.


I need someone smarter then me to tell me if it's possible to put the bigger 18" wheels on and what kind of modifications would I have to do?

I think the BO turbine wheels are hideous but the Fatboy wheels aren't much better

Well I am open to other suggestions if somebody has ideas. I want to stick with the black wheel look I just don't care for a solid or darn near solid wheel.

Anything is possible with money. Breakout had a wider rear tire so lots of changes would have to happen to make it fit. To cut cost it is probably cheaper to look into another wheel that looks similar
