Default Any FXDF owners running a car tire?

If so, what size tire? Limited research indicates that 205/60/16 should work but measuring tire/bike looks like it will very tight or may rub.

I have to agree with the others, think about taking a curve on one of those square edges?

Thanks for the "help". My brother in law has it in his head that he's putting one on his Fatbob. Just trying to help him find the proper size.
Wasn't really looking for opinions (especially from ppl who have never tried it) on the safety or the science behind the usage of a car tire, just looking for a size.

Yes, who cares about the "science" or things like "lean angle" or "geometry"..all bs if ya ask me, just more words to scare us away from using car parts designed with "science" for "cars". 4 wheels or 2? Psh.. Makes no difference I say!

You sound like you got all this covered. I say go for it and rock one of those big *** monster truck tires on there. Don't listen to the naysayers, all the "reasons" people don't do it are just from haters hatin'. Haters gonna hate!
