Question socal style

Every body run a 21 x 2.15 front wheel on her heritage or deluxe but do you know if someone run 18 on the back.

I can find white wall for 18, so can I ride only white wall on the front.

For a Heritage or Deluxe we all run a 21x3 with a 90/21 white wall on the front and a 16c3.5 on the rear as so we can do a whitewall.

HotHawg's makes an 18 white wall. It is pricey, but if you want one check them out. Jeff

patharley, I run a 21x2.15 on my Heritage...probably one of the last guys on this forum to do so. I like the skinny pizza cutter look...but most prefer a beefier looking from wheel.

To answer your question...yes you can run a 90/21 WWW on a 3" wide rim...you can go all the way to 3.5" wide rim if you want.

Some say you shouldn't go wider then 2.15, but I've got friends that have put many miles on 90/21 www's on 3.5" wide rims with absolutely no issues...other than an occasional bent wheel...but that's the price you pay when you stretch a tire to the limits.
