Default Largest Nightster front tire?

Hi all, what is the absolute largest front tire I can mount on the Nightster stock front rim & fender without rubbing issues or changing out any of the stock front-end bits? Could I do a 120/90?

I can only get a 100/90 on the front of my XLH without removing the fender.

I had a 110-90 dunlop 404 on my 03 and it cleared the fender struts by about 1/16 inch on either side... I went to stock size when I changed it.
