New 21" tire?
So I have my wheel on the way to me (Thanks again JCK!) and I am in need of a tire. I have a SE180 on the rear and it would be nice to match that compound as close to possible.
I'm pretty sure they make the Avon Venom in the 21-90-90 size, is this a close match? Recommendations? Once my rear tire is done, I plan to have matching tires put on front/rear....but for now, I want to throw on the new wheel.

I was under the impression it would. I thought the spacers made the difference.
If it is in the sliders, I do have a set of '10 sliders to use if that makes things work. Can you explain?

The issue is the Wide Glide hub is about 1.25 wider from center to rotor mount, so you won't be able to align the rotor in a standard Dyna front end.
When i went to a std Dyna wheel on my WG, i used a spacer to GAIN that distance to the rotor mount. So no, jmp is correct, it won't work for you, unless you have a WG front end.

Well, thanks. I think!
Looks like I need some triple trees then. This is going to get expensive.
