Street bob front tire

I just put a wide glide front end on my bob but now the fender looks stupid. I've got a Fat Bob fender that looks better but too wide so I'd like to fit a fatter front tire to fill it out more.

So what's the fattest front tire I can fit on a standard 19" rim?

I put an Avon Venom 110 on my stock 19" wheel. I don't think you'd want to get any wider than that, but I think JRK5892 has done it with another brand of tire.

I'm going for a fat boy front tire (140/75) on a 17" rim to match the rear.

Do you think the 16" front looks ok with the 17" rear or did you change both?
