according to hot bike buyers guide 2006 volume 38 on pg 44 the front rim is 19 x 2.5 and the rear wheel is 17 x 4.5. I e mailed performance machines because they have a street bob w/chome wheels and emailed me back that they used an 18 x 5.5 with a 180tire. they didn't give the exact tire size other than it was a 180. that was the biggest you could sqeeze it there w/the stock swing arm and fender. hope this helps

I have an 18" rear wheel on mine, with a 180 rear tire, 90/180/18 with a 21" front wheel. You won't be sorry with that configuration.

This si the exact configuration I am hoping to go to soon. How does it ride? How is it different than stock and was ther any trouble putting the new 21' FRONT WHEEL AND TIRE ON?
