So does that mean an 07 Street Glide run a 150 tire (stock wheels)?
Dru, I put a 150 Metz on mine and no rub after 2k miles.

Elvis, you don't want any rubbing. Before you quit on the 150 Avon, try it with the new inch 18wheel. Tire will be lower profile.

Check the engine/frame/rear swingarm alignment and verify its within spec. If seriously out-of-line it will cause rubbing too.
Basically for me it came down to a pulley spacer. Luckily we have a decent harley parts store here in vegas that carried multiple pully spacers of varying sizes. I put one on that was about 1/8th inch. Worked perfectly. The bike took 2 days to do for a bunch of us folks who only had a small clue, a bunch of tools and the harley tech manual. Man does it look hot -- pics up shortly!

Thanks

I just had a new set of wheels put on my 07 Roadking. A New 18"Fat Daddy 50 spoke wheel
in front with a Dunlop Elite 3- 130/70/18 tire. On the rear is a 16" RC Components chrome Smoothie with a Dunlop Elite 3 - 160/80/16
I had it done @ The Wheel Shop in Phoenix, AZ. I am not sure what if any spacers were used
but it looks and handlesgreat

i would think a 160 could be possible. I think the belt would clear with the spacer, but i think you may run into the tire rubbing on the fender. Not 100% sure though.

Also, here is the finished product [sm=bling.gif]
