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?
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. http://www.shinkotireusa.com/tire/777
