Default DNA fat daddy wheel sizes for crossbones

can anyone help me with wheel sizes for DNA fat daddy's on a 2009 Crossbones? Stock wheels on the FLSTSB are 16x3 up front and 17x6 rear. I think I ask for the 16x3.5 up front but they dont seem to carry 17" rears. Do I go for 18" and what width for the 200mm tyre? Will I need to make any adjustments given the larger rear tyre circumfrance?

Anyone with experience with DNA fat spokes and Crossbones? Photos would be great

Cheers

S

We just put a set on for a customer, after all the issues were addressed the wheels look pretty good. We went with a 21x3.5" in the front with a 120/70-21 Avon Cobra tire and an 18x5.5 in the rear with a 200/55-18 Avon Cobra tire. This bike is not running a front fender so we could put the 21 on the front. I think 18's both front and rear would look good as well but you may need to move the front fender up a bit. If you do order them make sure they install 3/4" wheel bearings in the front for the springer front end. The wheel they sent us had 25mm bearings in it and we had to change them out for the customer, he is now dealing with them to pay him back for the new bearings and labor to swap them as they were not correct from DNA.
