Default pm rims

i have a stock 2004 fatboy. i just purchased an 18" front rim from performance machines. my harley dealer said that it will fit and operate fine. i just want to hear from anybody that thinks otherwise. i currently have a 16" solid fatboy rim. i am keeping the same width just larger diameter.

Yes, 18" will fit perfectly. I recently purchased RC Components 'Calypso' wheels w/ matching rotors and belt pulley for my 04' Fatty. Absolutely love them, especially mounted to new Metzeler 880 tires. I used 18" x 3.5" front and 18" x 4.5" rear. No clearance or alignment issues whatsoever.

I hope to post some pictures soon.

18" will work fine on a fatboy.
