Understood, I was more wondering about the tire size your running front and back (Profile size). My 11' has 17in x 6in and run 55's (200/55r/17 rear and 140/75r/17 front). I have to get new wheels due to damage and was thinking about going to an 18" wheel front and back.

Can I run a 18x5.5 on rear with no mods? Currently looking to replace stock 16’s with 21x3.5 front and 18x5.5 in rear.

When I replace the front tire I will put a taller and maybe a little bit fatter tire to fill the fender better. They feel fine running and handling. I'll post a pic on here as soon as I figure out how to do it.

Have you got any pics of your bike with rim and tire combo mentioned? I have the same combo (Heathen) with a 180 rear tire on the 5.5" rim. Didnt know if I could run a 200 on that rim.

Want to make sure I have a the correct spacers and such to finish it up in a weekend. If possible, maybe you can fill me in on all the associated parts that your install included. That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
