Default 18" Solid Disc Wheels for FatBoy

Hey Gang,

I'm researching a 200mm tire on 18" wheel and fender change for my 04 Fat Boy. I hope to do this without changing the stock swingarm, caliper, rotor or belt....like the DM Customs folks claims. Of course the fender struts have to be cut off. I plan to put on 18x3.5 (front) and 18x5.5 (rear) wheels.

I decided on solid chrome disc wheels front and back from either HogPro, Weld, RC Components or others...any advice/recommendations would be appreciated.

Would also like some advice on bolt-on rear fender (9" wide / strut or strutless) suppliers. I would like to do something about 4-5 inches shorter than stock in the back with the recessed light/license plate. Have looked at HogPro, Milwaukee Iron, DM Customs and others. Hoping to use stock seat and back rest on new rear fender if possible.

I want to do the work myself...any advice on parts and the job (spacers / centering the tire / drive belt clearance / cutting off the struts is sincerely appreciated...

Regards
AlbertG
