Default 21/16 wheel combo

I have a 2007 HD Street Glide. I want to upgrade the wheel look by adding a 21 inch front wheel. I havent decided what I am going to do with the rear end, either an 18 inch rear wheel upgrade or a wide tire kit. In the meantime, I would like to add a 21 inch front wheel and keep the stock 16 inch rear wheel which has been chromed, with matching tire brands.

Does anyone have feedback/opinions on the 21 front 16 rear combo?

The 18 rear with the low profile tire is about the same diameter as the 16,just less sidewall. I don't see where it would be a issue. Sure can't see much of the 18 on mine.

id like to see a pic of a 21/stock 16 wheels. Thats alot of money to spend on the rear wheel if you cant see it. Dont get me wrong i love the look of 21/18 but i cant afford a rear wheel right now.

Hey ChopTop, that's one great looking ride. I love that 21" up front. It really looks good. Did you have to modify your front fender or lower it to get it to fit so well. Thanks, Craig

Sweet Hawg Chop Top. What brand/style 21" rim you have and did you have to lower the front any?

Here is my 07 with 21/16 and love it! Still need to lower the front and drop the rear with a air ride set up. Love the look of the 21/16 better than the 21/18. Good luck man...
