Default harley wide tire

for my 07 low rider, I would like to replace the 19 wheel with 21. I know it is just over half an inch larger in diameter than the stock setup. I would also like to put the 180 wide tire on the back. Dunlop does not have that tire on their site. Any idea if that will also increase the overall diameter? The 21in wheels look great but I don't want the appearance that the back of the bike is sitting significantly lower.

Thought about this a little more. If the overall diameter of the front tire .7in, The bike would only sit approx 3/8in higher in front. I don't think it would be noticable.
