Default Can I mount a 200mm on a 2010 StreetBob??

I have several questions regarding mounting a 200mm tire on a 2010 HD Street Bob with a stock 160mm. Couple questions?? What wheel is recommended for this tire? Do I have to make modifications? Is there rubbing issues? Can this be done without having to install a wide tire kit?
Sorry for the questions that have probably been addressed a handful on this forum. I'm new to the Harley world please advise in laymen's terms.

ok. What is the size is the crossbones rim? 18x5.5? I'm begining and need a step by step. Trying to get an idea so I won't get too blindsided at the cycle shop.

Pretty straightforward mod, I did it with a 17x5.5 HDWheel, had to space out the rear pulley 1/8" for belt clearance, also depends on what rear fender your running as you may find clearance problems.

Great thanks appreciate the help. What option on the wheel do you recommend? Is 18x5.5 too big? I'm looking a classic spoke rim with a voodoo fender that i just purchased. So all i will need is the spacer and no chopping or cutting? Thanks again

18x5.5 is the biggest rim we can fit under the back with the stock stuff. I run a 18x5.5 rim but with a 180/55ZR-18 tire. And I can tell you there isn't much more clearance with a stock rear fender. If you throw a 200 under the stock rear fender I am pretty certain it will rub.

180 on the rear (it looks like there is alot more clearance from the outside then there is, if you could see the inside of the fender you will see there isn't much more room).
