Default Chrome Rims/Need Advice

I have an 04 Low Rider and want chrome rims, also want the widest rims and tires without any modifacations. What is the widest rim I can put on the rear? I see 3.5 and 5.5 ?

I am in the same boat you are. For the front you are pretty much stuck with the stock 19 or the 21. For the rear, your best bet is a 17" wheel that is about 4" wide, using a 160 width tire. You may be able to squeeze a 170 but you will probably need to trim some bolts and reroute some wire to do it.

You could always send your wheels to http://www.chromeprosplating.com/ and get em chromed, they look sweet chrome and there would be no mods and cost you about 600 bucks which is way cheaper then new wheels.
