Cool 02 Fatboy Wheels

What's up guys. With riding season coming soon here in Minnesota I am looking to change out the wheels on my 02 Fatboy. I know I want to go 21x3.5 up front and 18x4.25 in the rear. I want to run whitewalls but am having trouble finding tires for the 18" rims. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Also, I will be making custom brackets to keep the stock fender but don't plan to lower the front/rear of the bike at all with this new setup. Any future problems anyone can see without lowering?

Thanks for the help!!

The only 18" WWW tire for your bike is made by Vee Rubber at this point in time...

Okay WWW are a make or break deal for me. If I were to go with a 16/21 setup, would I need to lower the front or would I be able to compensate with a tire so the front only sits about an inch higher than the rear.

Lower the front an inch.
Here's Shinko tires WW 777HD page, have some 18" rear tires.
Personally, I would run 16/21 setup.
