Aloha Hawaii-Five-Jo! Think I've seen your bike at Cycle City. Love the state motto: Land of a Thousand Potholes. So friggin ridiculous, we want to build and maintain a rail system and we can't even fix our potholes! BTW, just came back from the big island, the roads were fabulous! . . . but I digress. How do I determine the specs on my wheels? Harley just calls em 21 spoke chrome turbine wheels. Current rear tire spec is 240/40R18 79V Mahalo!

Pretty sure Harley sticks with the 18x8 and most aftermarket go with the 18x8.5 if I remember correctly. Mine fits an Avon 250 rear with no mods. It is really close to the belt so I would venture to say that a 260 metz won't fit without some mod. I have also heard that some got the 260 metz on, but it is the same width as an avon 250 width.

Anyhow, the Rocker guys got this figured out I am sure. I have the cvo springer which is the same as the Breakout. I think they used the cvo springer for the rear of the breakout design and changed rear fender. After throwing on the breakout wheels, I like the 240 rear better. It shows the breakout wheels better because of design on side profile. The 250 shows a little more rubber on the rear shot, but also sticks out of rim a bit to take away from the breakout side profile of rear wheel, its minor detail to the eye. on my next tire change I will probably switch back to the 240 on that wheel. On the original 09 springer wheels, the 250 looks much better on.

Just my 2cents good luck. There are a few threads on this about the 260 on the Rocker's.
