Default Wider Front Tire on FXDWG

I was thinking of getting a new fornt tire and rim for my 2010 FXDWG. I was wondering if a street bob front tire size would fit. I think it is 100/90 vs the 80/90 I have on my bike now. Only difference being the rim siz of 19" vs 21". Was thinking of getting a new 21" rim and a 100/90 tire to go on it but wasnt sure if they would fit? Anyone do this?

I can't help you with this but just wanted to say that the big skinny raked out tire is one of the kewlest features of a WG

I put the 90/90 on the stock rim for my '06 and like it, but I didn't know anyone made a 100/90-21 tire. Have you found one? I wouldn't think it would fit. If you mean that you'd get a new 19" rim to in order to gain an extra 10mm in tire width, then I'm not sure why you'd want to, but it would fit.

Yuh, it would fit. But his front end would look like a dirt bike unless he did something with the front fender.

To the OP: Don't do it.

Cool

A couple of MFG's make a 120/70x21, but you will need a 3.25" or wider wheel?
for that tire. It would look cool, though.
