18" Rear Wheels

03 Heritage, looking to move to an 18" rear wheel with stock drive line. What are the common rim widths and tire sizes everyone is running with the upgrade?
Planning on a 21x3.5 rim w/ 140x70x21 tire up front.

-Paughco/DNA offer a 3.5 wide rear rim and that looks like the normal everyone is running - what size tire? 150/70/18?

When I did my wheels, I was unable to locate a white wall for the rear in 18". I ended up sticking with the 16" so I could keep the white wall look.

Yes, 3.5" on the stock tire. To be honest, I don't know what size because I didn't replace it. Its what came on the bike.

The front is an Avon AV71 120/70/21 with white wall. Direct bolt on, used same spacers etc....

I'm running 18"x4.25" (150/60-18) & 21"X3" (120/70-21) on my 02 Heritage but if I was going to order wheels again today, I would order the same wheels except 18X5.5" rear wheel.
