Welcome to the forum. That's been discussed a lot here. If you want details, find a button here in the Dyna Glide Models section that's marked "search this forum" Just put in 180 and you'll find lots of discussions with all the details you'll need.

Good luck with it.

There are really only three (if that hasn't changed ) recommended 180 tires for the 17x4.5 Rim...

Dunlop GT502
Pirelli Night Dragon
Michelin Scorcher 31

This about sums it up....

The "search" seems to be a mysterious function. I'm going to just embrace this as the newest and latest information and ask for pictures, too. Sometimes playing devils advocate makes for a more enjoyable on-line experience. I have a 2008 FXDB with Dunlop American Elites front and rear, stock size. I've been contemplating a fatter tire to beef up the look. Maybe someone will post a 180 rear and a 110 front example. and their experience with the set up. Thanks. .....and OP, you're welcome. cheers.

Default Larger Rear Tire

I have a 190 on the back of my 2006 SB. It took a lot of work and modifications to get it done. My frame is different from yours. Yours will accept a larger wheel and tire without much work My rear rim is 6.25 inches wide and will easily accept a 200. On your stock rim a Dunlop 180 is as wide as you can go.
