Default Help: Streetbob wheel question

I have been looking into throwing some mags on my 2015 street bob,

The wheels i have been looking into and love only come in a front 19x2.5 and a rear of 17x3.5, now i know the front wheel is a perfect fit for my front tire, however the stock wheel on the street bob is 17x4.5 and the tire is a 160 i believe, i was just wondering if that is going to be a problem.

What is the widest tire that can be thrown on a 17x3.5 wheel?

Widest you could safely run on a 3.5in wheel would be a 150. I'd keep looking for a 4.5in wheel and run a 160 or 170 wide tire.
