01 FXDXT 160mm rear tire
I just put a 160mm ME 880 on my bike, had to squeeze it past the caliper but it fits just fine and looks huge compaired to the stock 150mm, it feels a little taller but I did not have my boots on and my old tire was a little thin

Any pics? I was considering going wider, but my 150 actually has rubbed the fender bolts a little since I put lowering blocks on it. I think it only did it when I was 2-up and hit a bump in a turn though.

Did you keep yours at stock height too? Any pictures of the 17"? Did you change the front wheel too? I was thinking of changing the rear bolts around and use cap screws on the outside. This would easily free up 20mm.

I have the stock rear (FXDX) fully adj. rear shocks on it right now and the front wheel is the stock 19" that I just powder coated gloss black. I would say you could fit a 170 on it too, rode with another dude that did a 170 with a FXDX a few years ago with no problem. His was on a 4.5 wheel too and he beat the **** out of his bike with no problems. I did change the rear bolts around on the fender so the tire would never hit the bolt end. I even have a 1" Tamarack block lower kit that I'm going to try out for the hell of it one day when I have some time. I'll post a picture from the rear in a few days.

I posted Pic in my profile, I have trouble posting pictures here? I'm new to this forum still learning! I used stock sized HD thunderstar wheels, I think 170mm would be cutting it close but it does look good filling in the fender
