Default 2018 Fatboy Wheel thread

So I have to say the 2018 OEM wheels look great, but I need something different. However we're all enthusiasts so I am sure sooner of later down the road someone will ask

"What's the widest wheel you can fit without modifications?"

"What's the biggest tire I can fit without modifications?"

So I'll start the thread here.
I'd love an HD Turbine setup on my Fatboy but they do not make an 18x4.5 front wheel, no body does at the moment. However I see plenty of 18x5 18x5.5 18x4.25. So I am begining to wonder can we fit an 18x5/18x5.5 up front without moding the forks or fender?

Post pics of your wheel setup along with setup details like wheel size, width and tire size.

Cheers and congrats on the new Fatboy! 👍
