East thanks...yes, I ordered Avon 120/70/21 and 140/70/18 from Tab at DB. I went with a 18x3.5" with the 140. The only two popular brands in that size is from Avon and Perilli I believe. There isn't a 140 Metz, Metz only carries a 150/70/18 now.

Having said that, some are going with the 18x4.25" with the 150, but it's a tight fit. No one has brought any major issues here that I'm aware with this setup, but I played it safe and stayed with the 3.5" and 140 because I knew from folks running it that there are zero issues two up or slammed. I ride slammed always and haven't had issue one with the setup I went with.

The 150/70/18 will fit the 3.5" (up to 4.5") but some have stated it may give a bulging appearance on the sidewalls, but then there are others who say they don't see that...I personally haven't seen it.

Check on your tire availability before ordering your wheel because it may be the deciding factor in which width 18 you decide on, especially if you are in a hurry to order. Give Tab a call 888 922-1642 tomorrow and see what's available.

 

Great info!!! thanks NC...going 18in the rear!! dont mind the wait or the $$.

 

East, roger that, you won't be disappointed!
