Has anyone put a 19x3 rim with a 130/60/19 tire on their fatbob? Numbers wise it seems it will work but I am looking for personal experience. Also, has anyone put a 200/16 on the rear of a fatbob? thanks in advance for any and all help.

 

200 on back is a breeze, no problem at all... the front i have run 120, front under a fat bob lid, never a 130 though, if it helps here is my dyna when i had a 120 w/ a modded fat bob fender on it, if i was to guess i would say yes it would

 

The stock front tire is 130 so no problem there. I'd be more worried about the change from 16" to 19". That would require an extra 1.5" between tire and fender, though you probably could just lower the mounting holes on the fender to raise it up, but again I'm not sure you have an inch and a half to work with.

 

I'm not concerned about the width, it is how close the tire will be to the inside of the fender. Ran the numbers on a tire diameter calculator and the 19 overall diameter came back lower than an 18 with a 130/70/18. The 19 is a 60 profile. So JRK5892, who makes a 200/16 tire?

 

oh man, i am so sorry... i read though your post so fast i did not catch the tire sizes of 19/16! man, i am so sorry, that is my bad.

 

All good Joe. You make me laugh. No need to apologize.

 

hahaha was so stoked to help out i did not even fully read your question!that said i do have a few buddies with fat bobs ill see if one of them willshoot me some measurements

 

metzler, avon , bridgestone, dunlop all make a 200/60/r-16

there are other options if you want to consider car tires.

 

Thanks for making my job a little simpler.

 

I think it will fit fine. Im running a 130/70/18 on my Fat Bob. The overall diameter was actually smaller than the stock 16" wheel and Dunlop combo. I ended up with more gap between the tire and fender than I wanted so I drilled new holes and lowered the fender. So even if it was tighter than you wanted you could always do the same and raise yours a bit. But if your 19" combo comes out the same as mine you'll have more than enough room. Heres my 130/70/18 before I lowered the fender.

After.

And heres the mod for lowering.

Hope that helps.
