My tire size now is 150/80B16. Thats the Dunlop factory style tire. How wide can I go without putting on a wide tire kit? I need a new tire, but dont wanna buy one that doesnt fit.

 

Bumpin this up!

 

Might want to take a look at the Heartland Kits.... http://www.heartlandbiker.com/

 

I didnt see anything on there for the FXDWG. Greta lookin stuff for softails, rockers, and Bobbers tho. Maybe Im missing it?

 

Bump, bump

 

bump bump

Anyone?

 

150 should fit just fine!

 

Yes, i know that. That is the stock tire.

 

I seen a guy with a 160 x 17 Deuce tire&wheel on a stock 03 wideglide

 

Lotsa useful information....LOL. I did read you do NOT want to go to a wide tire kit, or convert your bike to a softail, or change to a 17" rim. A rule of thumb is one tire size wider in most cases, without needing a wider rim to correctly fit the tire. Of course there are other clearances that will need to be checked as well. I think I would contact Dunlop on the issue to see what they recommend....If they have an E3 in what you are looking for I would recommend that tire (from experience).

Here is a topic I started on another site....you may want to take what you read here and put it to Dunlop to see how they feel about this too.

Hope this somehow helps...I know how little choice you have when wanting to go (safely) to a tire that is just a little bit noticeably wider, without running into clearance or fittment issues.
