Default front wheel swap

So noone sells a thick whitewall 21" tire. Only Avon, metlzer, and duncrap have thin whitewalls. So I was debating switching the 21" on my 72 to 19". I like the bigger tire for the old school look, and going with a 19 with a higher sidewall would make it more bobber than "chopper" look. But ill sacrifice that for the older whitewall look I love. The stock is a 2.15 rim. I've found a bunch of 2.5s on ebay. With as narrow as that front end is, does anyone know if it would cause a fitment issue? Has anyone done this yet?
