Default Looking at new rims

Well Guys, I will be selling my dirtbike so I can buy new rims. Looking at two choices here and I just wanted your opinion. First of all whats the largest front tire I can go to on a 2013 wide glide without any mods on a 21x3.5 rim? I will be keeping the 180 out back as I dont want to mess around with anything and eventually maybe a 200. The choices are RSD slam contrast cut or ride wright fat 50's all gloss black.

2 for each now. Anyone know what tire size I can fit up front without changes? and any idea what the wait for a set of ride wrights is?

140. But look it up first. Imo it looks kinda goofy on such a tall rim. I'd recommend sticking to a 120.

This is a 140 on a 21X3.5 wheel. Personally I think it looks good, The spoked wheels look badass but they require more maintenence and are harder to keep clean.

Ya 140 looks too big, it looks good on your fat bob, not sure it would look as good on the WG. I dont want huge I just want it a little beefier then the 90 that comes stock so 120 would probably be perfect. I think the direction I want to go I am leaning towards the RSD rims. Now I just have to get home and sell this damn dirtbike. It should go quick much nicer then any bike on kijiji right now

Thats not mine. Its just from a collection of pics I gathered when trying to decide on the wheels I wanted. I actually almost ended up getting some Ride Wrights myself but then I remebered how much I hate cleaning spokes. I ended up going with Southern Motorcyle Works. If you havent checked them out, you should. Super nice wheels and good prices. Everything in the pic minus the tires was $1800.
