Default HELP, 06 Fatboy Rear Tire Size

Will I be able to fit a 170/60-18 rear tire on my 2006 Fatboy keeping stock pulley/belt setup? I already have a 18 X 4.25 rim and I know that the fender horns need to be removed. I am concerned with belt touching the tire. Thanks.

I think you could fit a 200 tire with 17" wheel, that's is on my 06 FAT BOY. PURPLE HAZE.

Purple Haze,

Thanks for the reply, but it looks like you have a SE Fatboy which started life off with a 200mm. I am hoping someone has experience going from the stock 150/70-16to a 170/60-18 without modification. Thanks.

SORRY GUY!!! But I thought all the new FAT BOY'S had a 200 rear tire, I had a 05 15th Anniversery 95 C.I FAT BOY and it only had a 16" wheel with 150 on back, my 06 C.V.O. has 17 inch wheel's and I think my front tire is allmost as big as my rear on the 05, I loved my 05 but I really wanted 06 scremin eagle!! My 05 was 95 C.I and all stock but 06 would run ring's around it, but if I ever suped it up some I'M sure would had run better, the pipe's where so quite my wife could not hear me coming up drive-way!! By the way your handle say's VIPER_808 do you have a VIPER?? I have the poor man's VIPER it was one of last made 06 and M.S.R.P. was $51,095.00 but I had silver 04 and this one was on show room for 6 month's and I caught them the last day of JUNE 06 and the way gas is going no buyer's so they took off $15,000.00 on M.S.R.P. and gave me $35,000.00 for 04 with 9000 mile's so thought what the hell has every option even NAV. and blue-tooth, fiber glass cover, liner, 6 speed short throw shift, any way sorry about the wrong advice you may go to tech. section there are some very smart and gifted MECHS. GOOD LUCK!!! PURPLE HAZE.
