hi guys quick question hope fully u all have some anwsers, i was wondering how wide can i go on my rear wheel tire on my 05 softail standard without do any mods to the swingarm??

 

In the first post is a chart, made by the OP. I don't know how accurate it is but it may help you. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/gener...ification.html

 

That table is very helpful! There are several things that influence what you can do:

• rim width,
• clearance between tyre and belt,
• fender width.

On your current wheel the widest tyre you can fit is a 150/80, which should have plenty of clearance all round. However the 160 wide recommended in that table will get close to touching your fender, also the belt.

You can get wheels in 16", 17" and 18" rim diameters to take 160 wide tyres, but be aware that the fitted width can vary quite a bit between brands. I have a 160/70 Avon Storm on my Glide and it is actually 167mm wide on the rim and only fits inside my fender with modifications - it is not a bolt-in.
