I'm running the 4.25 and a 150.

ORIGINAL: speedglide

While we are on the wheel and tire subject guys, I need some clarification. For you folks that just posted, what width on the rear are you running, and with what width tire?? I WANT the 160mm for the increased load capacity. I have read on this forum that the 160mm WILL fit, and then in another thread it will NOT. I'm looking at MC Motorsports, and they have the rears available in 3.5 and 4.25 widths..
IF you have a 160mm on your '06 touring model, speak UP!!!
Thanks!
Jason

Mines an '04 so not sure how much of a difference that'll make, but I would say the 160 won't fit. I was runnin a 150 and when I took it off you could see a shiny edge on the tire where it had rubbed ever so slightly.. I switched to a 140 for the increased load rating...

I have a 160 on my 07 street glide, rim size is 4.25 --- had to take the belt guard off -- had a minor rubbing issue.

The 160 fills up the rear fender

I bought the Diablo from Hogpro. 21" 18" Good people to deal with.
Hi Mopar7...I'm looking at the Diablos in 18" and 18". How's the finish on them? It looks like you got the matching rotors. How are they?
I'm concerned about using non-floaters, (reduced braking power and/or squealing) but they look so great. How do you find them?

Thanks
