Hi Graham, from south o' the border! Give us a clearer idea of what you have in mind for wheel sizes. There is plenty in here about using wider rims, but it quickly gets complicated. The main obstacles are clearance between tyre and belt, then inside the fender.
There are great threads on fitting a 180 also 160 tyres. Go to Advanced Search (via blue bar above), enter either of those numbers and select 'titles only' and this Sportster Models. Get a long drink first!
