Is there anyone running a 200 series tire on the rear of the wide glides? I have the 180 now and was wondering if I could fit a 200 without any mods. Also how much bigger in inches is the 200 over the 180? I know 20mm but what is that in inches. Thanks Guys

 

25.4 mm = 1 in. 20/25.4= .787 in. A little more than 3/4 in.

The math ain't that hard.

 

I have a 200-55-17 on my 2010 Wide Glide

 

Did you have to do any mods? Is that on the stock rim? Also, what brand tire is that?

 

A 200 needs at least a 5.5" wide wheel - stock is too small. It will fit in the swingarm and under your fender no problem though.

 

No Mod's stock rim Metzeler 200/50ZR/17 I know alot of guy's running this tire it's soft and sticky will not last as long but you will stick like glue

 

ok everything I have heard says you need a 5.5" rim?? i thought all dynas came with a 17x4.5?

 

All I know is that the street bobs have a 4.5" rim standard and this is below the specified minimum rim width for a 200mm tire. You need a 5.5" minimum, 5.75" or 6.00" ok too.
Having said that I don't know what rim the Widey has standard. I thought it was still the 4.5" rim with the screaming eagle 180 which has a different bead design or something that allows it to be fitted to the 4.5 rim.
Someone with a Widey will have to answer that one

 

Here's a pic. the tire will fit and work 200/50ZR/17
