Better start looking at wider wheels. The stock 4.5” Wide wheel/ rim is already pushing the limits of being too narrow with a 180 series tire. A 5.5” wide wheel and a 200 series tire should fit no issue.

Upon rereading my post I realize I was not very clear. Its a 2011 WG and its the front tire wheel combo that I want to be a little more meatier :--)

A 21 X 3.5 wheel with a 120 or 130 tire as on the Breakout would work. You will need either a custom fender or modify the stock one.

A 90/90-21 tire is a direct fit on the front. Not a huge difference, but it will fit without changing anything else. Looks like you've already got a Night Dragon on the rear, and they make them in the 90/90-21 size.

Anything bigger than that will require a different wheel.

Not a Wide Glide, but here's mine with a 90/90-21 Night Dragon.
