18s front and rear... 150-70/18 rear(can do 160-60/18 but the ride is rougher)... 140-70/18 front... no mods required to stock fenders.

It's a 180 in the rear and a 130 up front. I don't remember the rim size or tire aspect ratio off hand though.

I am contemplating changing my 21 x 3.5 front on my street bob to a 18 x 3.5 and its good to know that a 3.5 will already fit in my front end. Any chance I can get a mounted width measurement on that 140 front and maybe a height measurement from the pavement to the widest lip of the tire sidewall on the top side so I can confirm some possible clearance issues? I already have a 18x5.5 rear with a 180 on it. Just tryin to mix it up a bit. I think a 18 inch 180 rear and a 18 140 front will look good.

Thanks for the help to all you guys that have posted. Just what I needed!

Default Wheels are on

I got a great deal on a pair of PM wheels and all associated parts. Tires are Metzler 880s. Rear is 200/50-18, front is 130/60-18, front wheel is 3.5 inches wide and rear is 5.5. When I replace the front tire I will put a taller and maybe a little bit fatter tire to fill the fender better. They feel fine running and handling. I'll post a pic on here as soon as I figure out how to do it.

I'm not sure what type of wheels you are looking for but I have a couple of PM wheels on clearance. Give me a call or send a private message and I can get you some great prices on these.

Thank you


PM me with some great prices I have an 09 FLSTF
