Default How Wide Can I Go
How wide of a rear tire can I put on my 01' Wide Glide? I have a 130/90B 16 on it now. Not sure how much more tire I can put in the fender. Looks like there is plenty of room for the belt to clear a wider one.

A 150 will fit without issue. I have heard a 160 will fit too.

Yeah, everything I've read says a 150 will fit with now issues. Has anyone put a 160 on their WG? Really want to go as wide as I can without major mods.
