Default What size tire

I've purchased the Harley roulette rims with 17 front and 16 rear. I'm installing them on a 2009 Road King Classic. Stock front tire is 130/90/16 and rear is 180/65/16.
For the front roulette rim, which is 17 inch, what are the options, would it be a 130/80/17 or a 150/80/17 tire like the Dunlop Elite 3? I want to match the tire width to the stock tires, but want black walls plus don't want to get too wide. And the same with back tire, 180/65/16 or a 180/70/16(Dunlop Elite 3) The aspect ratio is what confuses me. It doesn't look like the Elite 3's would be a match. so maybe American Elite's. Thanks for any help

If you want them to be the same diameter and width as stock then 130/80/17 and 180/65/16.

Dunlop's American Elite (your reference) fit that bill along with others

Thanks, that's what I wanted to verify.
