Never ride 2 up. I am about 185-190 pds. Its close but there is still room. I don't think 2 up would be a problem at all. I've got the shotgun shock in rear which helps. I now have a 18x4.25 with a 150-70-18 tire.
Before,I had the stock 16x3 wheel with a Avon 150-80-16 tire. That was a tighter fit than my current set up. No rubbing on that ether. I had both the shotgun shock and Proggresive 422 shocks with the 16 set up and didn't rub once.
Its not so much the height you have to worry about .Its the sides (width of the tire) rubbing on the strut bolts of the inside of the fender.

a 150/70/18 rear tire on a 18x3.5" wheel.
There are no issues running a 140/70/18 tire on a 3.5" wheel.

They are very tiny ceramic beads you put inside the tire.........used for dynamic wheel balancing. I use them in the tire on my Fatboy.......the only sexy thing about them is they gets rid of unsightly tire weights (sounds like a commercial doesn't it) LOL. Originally used for ATV and large truck tires.

I posted this yesterday, they work by rolling round and throwing themselves through centrifugal force to the outside of the tyre, meaning that its only really balanced at speed, only downside I can forsee is that if your tyre/wheel is way out then it wont be balanced at slower speeds, although probably not noticable.
