Default widest front tire size able to fit on 06 Bob??
Stock rim, 06 Street Bob. What's the widest I can go, safely, with no front fender.

I've wondered this myself. I like the fat front tire look on the Bob.

Ive got a 120/70/21 on mine WITH the front fender.

Edit: Whoops, you said 'stock rim'. I went up in both width and diameter.

I am going to run the 120 V rod tire in front on my harley, i have not installed it, but do not anticipate any issues. If there is i have the 110 to toss on there instead

According to the HDWheels.com fitment guide, the 110 is the widest you can go on a stock rim.

I've been looking into that for my 07, and from what I have found the biggest tire on the stock rim can be 110. Seems that putting a wider tire on the stock rim will distort the sidewall.
