wheel - tire options for 06 night train

What's the widest wheel/tire that will fit on a 06 night train front end? I'm going fenderless with a 16" tire and want to go as wide as will fit safely. The number I saw somewhere else was a 180 but I'm just trying to confirm.

Thanks

According to the chart here, the widest you can go on a stock front end is a 3.5 " wheel , 120 tire.

Go over to the Night Train picture thread. There are a couple of guys rolling with fat wheel and tire up front.

I've seen posts where people are getting 150's on 16 3.5 wheels. Would love to go 180 on the front to match the 180 on the rear.

Apparently, HD Wheels is incorrect on there chart. I ran a 140 on a 21x3.5, Mark runs a 130 on a 23" wheel, and as stated already, there's a guy running a 150 on a Train.

I'm on my phone for the time being so searching is a bit of a pain, when I'm around my pc later ill see what else I can find. Just trying to finish this project before warmer weather hits. I guess the question is do have to stick with a 3.5 wheel or can I do a 4 wheel.
