Default Will a 180mm tire fit on an 03 Heritage?

I was thinking of the new tire size they have for the touring model. It is a 16" wheel, I think.

I don't think the 180 will work. I might be to big and scrub the drive belt.

I think someone has put a 160 on but 150 may be the max.

I have a 150 on my 03 Heritage. It's close, and it calls out for a 130. So I doubt you could go much wider... Maybe a 160 but I don't know

Alot of times you have to move the lower belt guard. 160 is the upgrade but put both beside each other and their is not a noticeable difference.

I'm pretty sure you can do it, BUT, it would require a new fender, wheel, pulley, belt, and spacers.

160 will fit for sure, 180 maybe not.
