I have a 17" Duece wheel on my FXDX and it fits a 160/70/17 just fine. This is just a bolt on mod too, just have to put the brake pads in after the wheel is on. If you put a 160 on that thin stock rim It's still going to look like a 150 and not handle as well.

My stock 150 measures just about 6" wide. The fender measures 7" inside not counting the bolt heads. I have about 1/2" between the tire and the belt. Just as posted above, a 160 will fit fine, but the stock rim is pretty narrow. Probably want a 4" wide to make it look good.

I just picked up an Avon 160/80-16 for cheap and going to put it on. It measures 6.6" wide compared to the stock Dunlop which is right about 6". I am using cap head bolts and mounting them from the inside out. This should just clear. I'll post up pics when it is all done. I did look into the duece wheel, but didn't like the looks of it.
