100 but you dont see many of those and not with the right aspect ratio. Grab a 3" wide rim, you can run a 120mm. Those handle fantastic and look beefy.

90/100 is the biggest. Kenda makes them. People put 120's on those skinny rims all the time, I wouldn't. You can buy a 3.25" rim for $40.00 & have an indie lace it for $50.00.

Where did you find a rim for $40? That would be the route I am going.

Please point me in the direction of a $40 3.25" rim that I can get laced into my stock chrome hub. I'll have this set up on in the next 3 weeks!

If you wrap a 120 on that factory front rim, do me a favor and take of shot if it with a caliper around the tire, no way that thing is ringing true on such a narrow wheel.

I swapped the 90 series front tire on my 03 Train to a 120. Huge improvement in handling and I recommend the upgrade. Don't fit a 120 on your stock rim! The sidewall angle will be to extreme. You need a 3.25 inch rim. Got mine from Hog Pro. It's a costly investment but worth the money.
