Ah interesting topic of Wide Tire Kits, discussed on the forums many times before.

H-D used to make them, but not for this size or model.

Phatail by Performance Machine
Heartland
Rick's in Germany (I like the idea of this one, because it uses twin intermediate pulleys and two belts, instead of having to offset the transmission pulley)

All are in the prohibitive price range you mentioned above.

And would the wider rear wheel rim match the OE front wheel rim? Well it would if you had it banded... Widening steel and alloy wheels, Aluminium fuel tanks. Not legal in all jurisdictions!
Puts on tin hat and dives behind sandbags...
