Default Widest rear tire?

On the ST Standard what is the widest rear tire you can use without changing the swing arm?

Thanks

Prior to 06'? The fat tire kit that HD sells is put a 150 on the rear. I have heard that you can put a stock Deuce rim and tire (180) on these with minor modifications to caliper mounting and a thinner belt? You'd have to do a search on that though - the info. is out there on it.
