Cool 07 FXDB..Wheels, Tires, Powdercoat

Hi all. New guy here. I'm taking my wheels apart to get them powdercoated and was thinking about actually buying different size rims before I sent them away. I keep seeing Fitment charts on the internet stating 18 X 5.5 rim and 180 rear tire will fit on an 07 Street Bob with NO mods required. However, HD offers the Wide Tire Kit for a 180. Has anyone actually made this combo work with no mods (H.D. Kit)?

All the kit does is get some wires out of the way. So lots of people just do it themself with out the kit.

Thanks bberck. Obviously new to the Harley world......I'm also thinking about just getting a stock HD 21 X 2.15 for the front, powdercoating black, then re-lacing to the original hub. Do you see any problems with that, or do you recommend replacing the original hub also?

I'm currently running the setup you mentioned with no problems, makes the 180 look wider by spreading it out over a wider rim.
