Default 17 Inch wheel dramas?

Hey guys! I'm looking at getting some fat spokes for my 07 FXSTC and the only sizes I can see available for the rear are 18 X 5.5 and 16 X 5.5. The problem I'm facing is I've got a 17 X 6 wheel on there now with brand new tyre. I'm guessing this means if I want the new wheel to match the front I've got to buy a new tyre?

Any advice on Hub sizes would help too so I dont order the wrong wheels

Simmosofty,

Unfortunately we don't know of any spoke wheels that come in that size, one thing you can do is go with a solid rear aluminum wheel and that would look good with a spoke front. We carry these in the 17 x 6.25 size and can help you if you are interested.

PM me if you have any questions.

I hope you find what you are looking for.
