Can't go wider with that wheel. You can easily fit a 16" MT90 which is 130mm wide as long as you are prepared to buy a new wheel, and align brakes and rotors.
Of course it's going to be a funny looking Wide Glide but hey, it's yours.

an MH90 is the same as 80/90 tire. you can go to a 90/90-21 with no issues. here is a shet from Avon. It looks like an extra 11mm's. I put this on the Sportster I just sold.
