Default want to know what an 18 inch front rim looks like on a bagger.

I'm wondering if you guys have your bagger on an 18 inch front rim I either wanna go with 2 16s or an 18in front and a 16 rear on my evo. Google images isn't very helpful because everyone usually gets a 21 inch front. So if you could post pics of your bike (preferably a bagger) or someone else's bike with an 18in front and a 16 rear I would really appreciate it.

I know my wife's 2012 rgs came stock with a 18/16 combo.

this isn't her bike now, she's got a 19'' agitator on the front, but pretty much this is what it looked like stock.


just fyi, 19 looks better and still retains all stock stuff. the 16, 17, 18, and 19 inch tires (stock) all have virtually the same rolling diameter.

What tire size is the 19 on the front that retains the same dimensions as the 18"? I have a small dent in the front rim and I'm thinking I might upgrade to a 19" when I change it out.

Nice I like that look. Can I fit a little bit more of a "meaty" tire on the front with the 18? I want a lot of tire but the 18 inch front.

the stock tire is a 130/60B19. and is available from Dunlop as the American elite for a lot less than what the dealer charges for it.
