According to HD wheels looks like you are good with the 18 x 5.5 with no mods. See link or attached pic
http://www.hdwheels.com/Product.htm there is also a tire fit chart on there that will tell you what size tires you can use on rim width

18x5.5 with 200/50/18 Metz (wider than Avon). If you relocate your rear signals, it fits fine and worth the extra effort.
Also, if you don't want to mess around with spacers, you need to make sure that the wheel either uses the stock hub or a hub that is the exact same width as the stock hub.

Hey Jim--What wheels are you replacing? I posted earlier about some wheels that I'm looking for for my 06 super glide. Have cast but am looking for spoke. Thanks, dude

No issues with belt or tires. I did not have to space the pulley either. As long as the hub is centered properly, you will have no issues with a 200 tire.
