Default Wheels And Whitewalls
I am looking for whitewalls and wheels for my 2013 street Bob , I want to go as tall on the sidewall as I can and as wide as I can on front and back both without any mods , Other than changing the wheel size I would like a nice fat white wall on the front what are some sizes I can choose to get the look?

Hard to keep clean narrow, never clean medium, always stained large stripe. Couldn't resist. Always liked white wall looks new just after the blue strip is removed. Never seen one stay looking good.

WD40 works for me. Wesley's does not clean oil and road tar. Does not seem to stain the white either.

I've seen someone in the forums here lace a 16" rim to the original street bob hub to get up to a 130/90 tire for that fat bob look, with a fat bob fender to cover it. Other than that, I don't believe you can go more than a 120 up front without getting into mods.

I know this isn't a Harley, but the while walls look right. I'd guess maybe 17s. I think you can use that site to ask them about tire info.
