Default Wider front wheel on Wide Glide????

I forgot who put the wider front wheel on their Wide Glide. I do remember that it was a Red Wide Glide. I am looking into going wider on the front as well and need more info like rim width and tire size. Thanks

21x3.25 wheel with a 120 tire is a popular size.

I have a 110 on the front of mine, fits on a stock wheel, but the fender no longer worked, so I had to buy an aftermarket fender and have it painted. PM if you like.

Seems someone said a fatboy fender tire/rim setup would work

i suppose it would depend on the profile of the tire, you may very well be able to keep the stock fender, I didn't know mine wouldn't work till AFTER I mounted the new tire.

On mine it was the sides, the stock fender is pretty damn narrow. I am actually happier with the new fender, being wider it gave me room for a custom graphic. As&nbsp\\;I recall the biggest issue was the mounting bracket on the fender, the angle on it hit the fender and kept the fender from sitting down far enough to bolt back on.
