150 for sure. 160, maybe. 180 if you chop off the fender struts and change to a narrow belt & pulley.

I've got a 180 on a 18" x 5.5" wheel. Cut and re-welded fender struts with a softail fender. Running a 25mm wide belt and narrower pulley.

150 can be run, but I had to go to a 1 1/8" belt.

I had a 150 on mine and I coulda sworn it was the original wide belt. I can't remember for sure, tho. Too many beers ago.
