Default Rocker Rear Wheel Question
I'm looking to put some custom wheels on the bike and went by my local HD dealer today to get the wheel measurements (bike is in the shop for other upgrades). I found the website below that says that I need a 18x8.5 rear wheel, while the dealer swears that the rear wheel dimensions are 18x10. The last thing I want to do is order the wrong size and I'd like to keep the relatively new stock 240 tire. Any help would be appreciated.

18x8,5 should be correct

Stock wheel is 18x8, most aftermarket wheels are 18x8.5 and can be used with either stock 240 or a 250.
