Default Fat Front tire

I like the look of a fat front end on the bikes, not a taller tire but fatter! Curious as to what's the fattest someone has been able to squeeze in a Deluxe or Heritage style front end. I'm not opposed to getting a different fender to make it work, On my old evo fatboy I was running the same rear tire on the front for a fatter look but I had an old touring bike fender I'd cut the mounting tabs off of and set on the front using it. I liked the look of the lowered FL styled fender over the fatboy fender but that was just me. I've got a 12 Deluxe and just picked up some fat spoked rims for it and before I install them I'd like to mount the fattest tires I can get away with.

Maybe if you posted the size of those "fat spoked rims" you bought we can tell you what the fattest tire you can install on them.

Heh, I have to admit, when I read fat front tire, the first thing I thought of was the 'new' Sportster 'S'....
