Default Wide front wheel for my Streetbob

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on putting a wider front wheel on my bike. I have a 160 on the back and would like to run the closest to that on the front as I can. Even if I have to get different forks to accomodate the wheel, that is fine. I just need to know where to find this. Thanks for the help.

Just a thought but a Fat Bob front is a 130/90B16. Stock is a 100/90-19. Not sure about fitment.

Yeah, I am gonna have to check that out. Might have to get a new rear wheel to match if I can't find the right spokes for the front to fit the rear. But a 130 would be a good size for the front. I could prob use the same front end with a 130, but I might have to shave down the spacers. I dunno, just looking for some ideas before I do something that costs more than it needs to.

Will the sportster 48 front rim fit? I was thinking about that but that's as far as I got.

I think a wide 21 wheel would look sweet on there. Then you could use the Mets 140 wide 21 tire with no fender of course. 120 with fender. Stock trees and spacers. Check the link in my sig.
