18x5.5 front wheel

Does anyone have a source or info regarding milling the lower legs to fit a 18x5.5 on the front of a 2014 Street Glide?

You don't need to mill anything anymore. Just pick up a Native Baggers EZ kit and all you have to change is the fork cans and the front fender. I just did mine a week or so ago and it rides great.

2020 RGS, Native hasn't updated their website in a while. I didn't have to do anything with the fork legs. The fender they give you is cut out to go around the legs to make room for the tire and wheel with offset mounts. You just need to rotate the fork legs so the mounting points are out of the way and then slide the fender up past the mounts and then turn the legs back and then lower the fender and install the bolts. You do have to remove the forks from the trees to install the new fork cans that are clearance cut for the wider fender. While they had the forks out I had them install the new Progressive progressive wound spring kit since they already charged me the labor to remove the forks.
