anyone know if 2013 Fat Bob is same dimensions as 2009?

Would 200/60-16 Avon Cobra or Metzeler 200/60-16 880 fit my stock rear?
(Rim is only 16 x 5) And is there enough width between swing arms?

I've previously only seen 200/55-17 [17x6.25 Rim] or 200/60-18 [18x5.5 Rim] recommended. But I'd be stoked if above options worked on stock rims & fit bike - no need to replace my rims!

That's a nice looking bike. Looks a lot like mine! Great minds think alike.....

How do you like the Cobras? I'm seriously considering a set of them for my bike.

There should be ample room between the swingarm and the fender to run the 200. Where you have to really look closely is the space between the tire sidewall and the drive belt. For comparison, I run a Metz 180/55R18 on the back end of my FB, and there is definitely less than 1/4" between the sidewall and belt. I imagine it would be even less with a 200.

INJEKTER: that is one tuff lookin' ride you've got!

I ran a Metzeler 880 200/60 on my 2010 Fatbob using stock rims. No clearance issues. Once I swapped out my stock rims for aftermarket, I started having issues with clearances on the drive belt. I think all years of Fatbobs have the same size rims. You should be good.

I got the Metzeler ME880 Marathon Tire - Rear - 200/60R-16 on mine. Looks great too.
