Default 21' x 3' wheel

Has anyone used a 21 x 3' wheel on their softail? I am going to have to replace a damaged wheel and thinking about this.

Couple guys around here have done it. Check out this thread https://www.hdforums.com/m_3338922/m...tm.htm#3339668and look at willyp's awesome bike. Im waiting ona new 17" x 3.5" wheel myself, better stability and I love the fat tire look.

I've been told a 21 has a negative effect on the ride and handling. less tire side wall.Best to go with 18s.

What size tire would give me the same ride height then?
