I'd say a 140, maybe a 150 probably tops. What's stock to the creature?

I'm running a 160/60-18 on an 18 x 4.25 on the rear with no mods to the bike on an 06 FatBoy. Hope that helps! Happy turkey day!!

Thats got to be a tight fit. My 06 came with a 150 tire and I can bearly get a finger between the fender and the tire, but its only 10mm so 5mm on either side wouldnt really be that much.

Definitely depends on the year. Put a 150 on my '01 but it required spacers to move the tire either to the right or left (can't remember). This in turn required me to mill down the caliper mount so it was centered on the rear rotor. It was some work but turned out fine in the end. The newer models (not sure when it changed) come from the factory with a 150.
