120 might work if I can fit that to my stock rim.

What fender are you running on the front? I just put a 130/90x16 and need a fender to cover the front tire.
Thanks.

It's a Buell xb wheel and a v-rod fender. Not bolt ons, just showing that the tire will fit.

No 5.5" is all good. It's a recommended size rim for a 200mm tyre

So I see you and Hrdnox are running the 18"x5.5". Did you buy a whole new rim or 18" hoop and spokes and where ?
