Default trying to decide on front wheel and tire size

I'm going to be ordering a 21" front wheel for my bike next week (2013 Street Glide)
I can't decide what size width to get
21X2.15 or a 21X3.25
I want to keep it close to the stock width
Will I have any fitment issues with the slightly wider rim and tire (3.25)
What is everyone else using?
Thanks

21x3.25 or 21x3.5 is what you need for teh front. The skinnier 21 is for sporty's and dyna's. Tire sizes available are 120/70/21 or the dunlop 130/60/21. I prefer the 120 as the 130 is only available through Harley and I dislike dunlop tires.

I like the Slash 21" wheel but the 3.50 width is not listed on your site
is there a 3.50 width made or is the 3.25 as wide as they go?

Metzler make a 140-21. I have one on my bike and I like it a lot. However you will have fender clearance issues. I'm using a fender intended for a 21" but still had to make risers for it to clear it.
