2012 WG tire fitment question

Just ordered wheels for my 2012 WG. I ordered:

21 x 3.5 front
18 x 5.5 rear

I am going with a 120/70/21 in front, and was going 180/55/18 in rear.

I have searched all over, and cannot get a direct answer for my year which is why I am posting.

Question is whether or not I can put a 200 on that 18 x 5.5 with no other mods. Worried about the belt touching the tire. If it is ok for a 200, do I go 50 or 55? Or are there any reasons anyone prefers the 180 or 200 over one another. Thanks in advance.

Heartland USA, check their website and email them. They make a 200 rear tire kit. You can put a 200 on the 18 x 5.5 with no mods to the swing-arm. I don't know how it would fit in the stock fender?

Search for 200/50/18 in this forum and there are quite a few threads where guys mention running them with no problem.

With a 200/50/18 you have very limited tire choices. Avon makes a 200/55/18 but see a fitment issue. Hogpro will know best.
