Post Will These Tires and Rims fit?

I have a stock 2005 FLHT with MU85B16 M/C77H on the back and MT90B16 M/C72H on the front.
I have the chance to buy some
Stock 2008 Harley Davidson FLHX Touring stock rims, tires & rotors, with only 200km tire size.... Ft: 130/70/18, Rear: 180/65/16
Ft.408, 130/70/18
Rear407, 180/65/16



Would they fit on my bike?
Or what mods would I have to do?
Any input would help.
Thanks

Your not going to get a 180 on an 05 without some modifications. 150 max.

Brands differ (a metiers 150 isn't the same as a dunlop 150 or michelin etc...)

Forget about it.
1) How could you mount a 18" front tire on a 16" front wheel?
2) A 180 rear tire is 4 sizes wider than your stock tire. It's too wide for your 3" wide wheel and it'll rub against the belt and the fender.

You can use the 18" combo on the front but the rear will be too wide without changes.

I don't think he is asking to mount the stock tire on the 18" rim, I think he wants to know if you can use an 18" set up an 05, maybe not tho.

The 180 came with the new frames in 09. If that rim has a 180 tire on it, its not an 08.

Im a newbie, but thats what I understand.

Oooooops, you're right, my bad. The 18" wheel on the front will fit but not the 5" wide wheel with the 180 tire on the back.
