Default Tallest rim and widest tire

What is the tallest rear rim and widest tire you can put on a stock Street Bob without spending big money? I think Ive seen a few with a 200 tire. Also would a 21 inch front wheel fit?

What year? Later(10+) models will take an 18x6 with a 200 without any changes other than maybe relocating your siginals. Mine fit completely without mods, I already had the lights moved so no experience whether you will or won't

I'm running an 18x5.5 rear with 180/55 Metzler ME880. Some have fit a 200 so it's possible. I'm also running a 21x2.15 with 90/90 Metzler front.

Here's a Jireh cycles 21x3.25 with a 120/70/21 up front. You can also use your stock hub and spokes.

OOOP!! Yes I meant 3.25 and yes stock hub and spokes work. You just lace it 1 over 3 and it gives you the distance you need. Check out the thread I posted above. Jstreet is still running this set up. I still used new spokes just because I already bought them and it's a PIA to return them from an internet source. But they were still 19" spokes and were the same length as the stockers.

I run the following:

Front - 21x3.5 w/ 120/70/21 Metzeler
Rear - 18x5.5 w/ 200/50/18 Metzeler

You are not going any wider than this without some serious modification.

Looks like Jirehs is a pretty cheap place to buy some 21 and 19 inch wire wheels. They dont show any 80 spokes though.
