Question New wheel sizes for a 2005 Fatboy

I'm ordering new wheels to be made (Fat 50 spoke style) for my 2005 Fatboy. It looks like the stock wheels (front and rear) are 16" x 3". I want to go to an 18" size on both. Can anyone tell me if going to a 3.5" width on the front and a 4.0" width on the rear presents any problems? If those sizes aren't a problem, what tire size would be the best choice to put on the new rims?

Thanks for any help.

You can do a 16x3.5 on the front and an 18x4.25 on the rear. Where are you ordering your wheels from?

I can get you Ride Wright as well. Give me their prices and I will match or beat them. Drew
