It really depends what look you want. Both should work equally as well. I can get you a discount on them as well. Email me at DREW@DRVTWIN.COM

Mine is the 21" x 3.5" front and 18" x 3.5" in the rear.. Love the look of the bigger wheels tucked into fenders.

Aloha Braddahs,

I'm running RW's Fat Daddy 50's on my 08 DLUX. 21x3.5 front and 18x3.5 rear. Wrapped in Metzlers..... No problems at all. You will like the look. It will make your Deluxe look sick.

+1, the 18 looks great under the rear fender.

I am partial to the 16x3.5 in the rear. Makes the 21 appear bigger. IMO
