Wide glide rear rim/larger tire (help me find one)
I have looked for the answer to this one and found nothing so...
I want to put an 18" rim on my 2010 wide glide that would also be wider than stock to facilitate a 200 series tire on the back. I am trying to find a rim to re spoke onto the hub. If that doesn't exist than I would just want a rim as close to stock appearance as possible. Anyone know where I can get a rim and spokes? If not how about a close to stock appearing rim?

Hey HDRusty,
This will be my next project. Just finished the 21x3.25 wheel and 120 tire up front.
You can go here and get your rim JPCycle
For spokes look here Buchanan's. I bought my front spokes from them. You'll need to measure the distance from nipple ridge to nipple ridge across the new rim. They will need this measurement to make your spokes. For a set of 40 spokes stainless steal and nipples ran me 128 bucks.
I would also recommend Timken bearings. The 205PP bearings. I bought mine on Amazon.
Motion industries has the specs.
