Default Need help deciding on front wheel

So need some help I'm getting fat spoke front wheel for my fat Bob but having hard time deciding between 18x3.5 or 21x3.5. I'm going to put my dual discs back on and don't want to hide wheel with discs, still want to maintain fat look so going to stick with bigger tire. So what's your opinions?

I really like the chunky look of the fat front tire on the fat bob. I'm not a fan of big wheels up front. I get it about showing off the spokes, I just like the look of more tire, less wheel. JMHO.

As a WG owner I like the 21, but the 18 fits the character of the Fat Bob better.

I think the 21 will look awesome with the fat spokes you can go too big like the 30s on a bagger but your Bob would pull the 21 off nicely

Not a Fat Bob, it's a Street Bob with Fat Bob trees, so just a different light and single disk. I run a 21" x 3.25" .
