RE: Rear wheel

Isn't the stock rim 5.5"? In any case the fitment of the stockwheel and tire has very little clearance. I don't know if it would work or not, but it seems pretty tight as it is.......
good luck with it!

RE: Rear wheel

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to?I see no benefit from it, performance wise or asthetically.

RE: Rear wheel

On the Metzeler site is says that 06-07 FXST(B or S) rear rim size is 6" wide.

I don't think the 7" wide rim will fit since there is almost no room between the rim and the brake caliper with the stock set-up.
