I'm interested in putting a 200 tire on my rear end, and wondering: what size axle does my 2013 Sportster Forty-Eight have? and, knowing that a 180 requires a 16x5 1/2 rim, what size rim do I need for a 200?

 

Never seen so much bad information in one thread...post #7 is the only one with correct info.

 

ok, 25mm, thanks, now how about the rim I need to purchase for a 200 rear end? A 180 takes a 16x5 1/2, what's a 200 take please?

 

No Sportster had a 1" front axle.

 

Fat Bob uses a 16x5.00 for 180
Fat Boy uses a 17x6.00 for 200
Rim size recommendations vary by tire manufacturer & which specific tire.

 

1997 c, 3/4 " front axel

 

Does anybody know what size the front axle is on a 93 sportster 1200 xlh? Trying to swap in. a 21" front spoke rim.

 

With a resolution of 1/16ths, it's in between 11/16 & 13/16

 

Another resurected old thread.

So it is 3/4" in diameter.

 

Thank you.

So would something like this rim not fit?
