Default '06 Fatboy Rear Wheel Tire Size

Hey guys,
Was in the dealership the other day just wasting time and I saw the newer fatboys with the 200mm rear tire and thought it looked outstanding. Anyone here have any idea how much I could go up in tire size with the stock setup on a 06 Fatboy?

Thanks
Zach

You can squeeze a 150 in there on the stock set up. You will probably need to flip the fender strut bolts to avoid rubbing.

Hey Zach, I too have an 06 Fatboy and I went with 18" x 4.25" rear wheel and has a 160 Metzeler on their. No rubbing whatsoever and also have a Shotgun Shock air ride. Don't get me wrong, it's tight. I doubt if anything bigger will fit without any mods. Hope this helps...Take care...Ray...

I hope a 150 would fit on an '06 because my '05 came with it stock.

Yeah...I meant 160. It was a typo. Thanks for correcting.
