Default wider tire ?

Eventually i'm going to change my solid rims on my 02fatboy to chrome rims possibly 5 spoke.I would like to also go to a wider tire.I beleive i can only go to a 150 w/o any mods.I would like to know if there any advantages in going to a wider tire from a 130 to a 150.Also any advantage or disadvantage going from 16 to 18.thanks

Default RE: wider tire ?

150- A little more meat doesn't hurt for added traction. The biggest advantage IMH is the looks. The 150 wider is a little meatier. The 18" rims give you a little more of that custom wheel to show off. Especially in the rear. You spend all that $ on the rear and can never see enough of it. My $.02 worth.
