about a 1/2 inch height in the rear.. also factor in the size of your front wheel... I put a 17 in the rear because I was replacing the stock 17 with a Mammoth 21 inch.
depends on what year of bike. if you have a 09 or newer you can slap a 200 rear underneath it with a 17 instead of the stock 180 with a 18. I got a 17" rear wheel with the 200 and I like it.
I'll help out the OP with a question. If the stock 18 is a 180, why does Avon have it in 150/70-18? I noticed Hogpro mention that in another thread I saw.
Thanks for the input. I think I like the idea of running a 200 on the rear. I am planning on running a 21 on the front as well and plan on lowering the front to make up for that.

The 150 tire is for an 18x4.25 for up to 2007 bikes. An 18x5.5 would be for 2009 and newer bikes. The 09 and newer bikes come with a 180 rear tire but you can squeeze a 200 tire on the rim. We will not mount a 200 tire on the 18x5.5 as we had a few customers who experienced a high speed wobble with the 18x5.5 combo and a 200 tire. So if you want a 200 tire we recommend the 17x6.25 which will also stretch the tire out a little bit more and give you a bigger contact patch with the rear wheel.
