Default Wheel and Tire question

I have an 06 fatboy with stock 16 in. wheels. Hopefully changing to 18 in. chrome set up from Hog Pro with the floating rotors and matching pulley along with Metzler 130's in front and 160's in rear. Called them personally and they said they would fit with no mods at all. Sounds to good to be true. I'm cautious about ordering them and finding out later that they need alot of mods to make them fit. I was just wondering if anyone else has done this set-up and if any, what mods did you have to do, if any at all.&nbsp\\; Any in put would be appreciated. Thank You &nbsp\\; &nbsp\\; Ray

Go for it! Mine is an 06 FatBoy and I am running 140/70-18 for the front and a 160/60-18 for the rear with no mods. They came mounted and balanced ready for installation. I always receive many complements on my wheels. When asked where I got them I tell them HogPro, I'm amazed that 99% of them have never heard of em? Better for us I guess, not so good for HogPro.
