Default Rocker C tire

Caught a nail on my rear tire. Can someone tell me if I can fit a 250mm tire on my 09 hd rocker? Should I even consider it? My bike has the Heartland rocker kit and is lowered with the Progression 422s. Thanks!

I have the Metzeler 260/40 VR18 ME880 Marathon on my original Rocker wheel and it fits perfect with the stock rear fender. The tire measures 247mm on the wheel, just check on the heartland if there is so much space left.
According to my opinion the ME880 has got a better performance on the street and looks better than the Dunlops.

Hey guys, i searched around and i know that the dunlop elite 250 and the metzeler 260 will fit on the stock 18x8 rim with no problem. I was wondering if anyone was running these on 18x18.5 rims? Im thinking of getting some Performance Machine wheels which are 18x8.5. Anyone here have 18x8.5 wheels and what size tire you have on it? thanks.

Tom
