Understood, I was more wondering about the tire size your running front and back (Profile size). My 11' has 17in x 6in and run 55's (200/55r/17 rear and 140/75r/17 front). I have to get new wheels due to damage and was thinking about going to an 18" wheel front and back.

Can I run a 18x5.5 on rear with no mods? Currently looking to replace stock 16’s with 21x3.5 front and 18x5.5 in rear.

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.

Have you got any pics of your bike with rim and tire combo mentioned? I have the same combo (Heathen) with a 180 rear tire on the 5.5" rim. Didnt know if I could run a 200 on that rim.

I too got a great deal on a set of PM wheels. Was curious to know what actually came with your wheels. I've had my wheels stored away and am about to begin the install. Want to make sure I have a the correct spacers and such to finish it up in a weekend. If possible, maybe you can fill me in on all the associated parts that your install included. That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
