Default RE: WHICH SIZE WHEELS??

I would guess for a 180mm wide tire the 12" would be WAY too wide and the 6.25" may be also. Best bet is to contact Hog Pro and get their recommendaton for tire/wheel size and combination advice. Metzler recommendsa 3.5" miniumum for their 160 mm tire, 180 shouldn't need a nearly 3" wider rim, but that's just my guess and that neither would fit in a stock swingarm.

Why not consider an 18" wheel/tire combination with a low profile wide tire and keep it in the stock swingarm?
