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.

 

what are you running for your 16? 3.5 wide and what size tire?

 

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.

 

hey i just orded a set with a 5.5 rear wheel but now im wondering if its going to even fit on my 96 heritage did you have to do anything special with your spacing or belt? also what tire would you run ?

thanks

 

waiting for this reply......

 

I went with 18-inch wheels on my 05 fatboy

3.5 wide rear rim and 150/70/18

no mods needed.
