If you haven't ordered yet PM me and I'll send you a contact if interested. I went with the rear 18x3.5 and Avon 140/70 through DB just to avoid any potential rubbing issues.

If installing yourself does anyone know spacer sizes? I'd like to avoid reinstalling my stock wheels to take it somewhere and paying the additional labor when I can do it myself.

The standard spacers fit! As long as the wheels are correct to you order to year of bike, so buying the HD chrome spacers, standard size to your ride, work & look good! Mine are Polished stainless & were machined up, due to incorrect fitment being supplied & look good! The two guys I know, one has the chrome ones the other used his standard but they do look **** next to his all chrome wheel & chrome fork leg!

Get yourself some polishing rouge and a polishing wheel for your workbench grinder. Works well until you have to change tires, then you polish 'em again.

Great info, I'm considering a set for my Heritage and had the same questions. Where are you going to purchase your set? I'd be interested in how much you paid.
