Default Widest tire on a 2007 nightrain?

Wondering what the widest tire I can fit? Is the stock 200 all I can get underneath the stock swingarm? On older models I have fit wider tires but was not sure on my new ride.
thanx

I've worked as a tech for 8 years.
wide tires suck for handling. IMHO they don't even look that good either.
everyone puts all the goombah accessories on it.
save money on the tire and build the motor.
