I am running a Dunlop SE 180 & used a Vulcan spacer kit which is the widest you can run without installing a wide tire kit from Heartland or such.

I got a 200 on a Softail Custom mostly solid wheel. You don't need a bigger fender or swingarm, but it's a tight fit.

I installed a Michelin 180 with no alterations without any problems.
