at least 9 inches wide, but you could purchase a pre-fabricated aftermarket or if there is an OEM look your trying to achieve you can get second hand ones for a good price. additionally 2007 and up fatboys use the same wheel and tire spec your trying to find so look for a used setup if you want it to look factory.

Tanks for the reply stal94gt i did buy rims and tires off a later fat boy the rims have the holes all the way around the rims. So i would need left and right supports for the fender off the later year?

The 200 wide tyre started in 2007. The wheels in 2007&8 were moved over to the left in the frame, to match the new 96" engine. I know, cos I had one. (The front wheel looked strange cos it was not centralised between the fork legs...)

The big downside to the 200mm rear tire is you won’t get the mileage out of it. The original skinny rear that you have will last longer.

* In 2007 they kept the same rear swingarm as in 2000 (48746-07), so in 2007 they had to move both the wider rear wheel and the front wheel over to the RIGHT in the frame (there are photos of this on the internet).
* From 2008 to 2017 they corrected this with a new rear swingarm (47573-11).
* Therefore in my opinion if you put the wider rear wheel into your 2000 swingarm, it probably won't line up with the front wheel.
