Default 240 on a Rocker

Does anyone know how HD fit the 240 on the Rocker? I know it has a different swingarm than the other softails. But the belt clearing the inside of the swingarm is what I can't figure out. I have a '08 Nightrain and the belt is very close to the inside of the swingarm. The belt could not be moved away from the tire on my bike or the belt would hit the inside of the swingarm. I sure would like to have a 240 rear tire.

Anyone own a Rocker yet and can verify what the tire size is? (I was at three dealers this weekend and didn't see one of them (Daytona and two dealers in Orlando Florida)
