Default How big of a tire can you go on a stock sporty?

I am thinking of replacing my solid rear wheel on my 02 sportster with a spoke rim but before I do I might as well see how big I can go on the rim and tire. Does anyone know what options I have? I do not want to get the conversion kit and would like to stay with the stock rear fender ? Thoughts?

Its tight, I went with a 150 tire, had to go with chain and space rear sprocket and get an offset front sprocket.
