needing to install a new rear tire on my 12 superlow. I am thinking about trying a Michelin Commander II 160/70B17 instead of the stock Michelin Scorchers 150/70zr17. what I am wondering about is the extra width fitting in the fender. any one try this yet?

 

Just guessing here but there can't be much (if any) difference in the clearences between your '12 and my '08. I had no issues with the 160 Metz I had on mine. Wouldn't want to go any wider though.
