What do you mean by bigger? If you are like me you wanted the fat tire on front. The 21" wheel is stock on the front and I went to a 16". Just like the way my buddy's rode with his 16" so I changed mine. Here's a pic.

you can go with a 23inch with removing the fender but with stock fender you cant go bigger or wider, I tried. But if you plan on changing or removing your fender the sky is the limit.
So the question is do u want wider or taller?

i want to go taller and a little bit wider in the front and in the back taller and wider without modifying anything.
i heard removing the front fender you can go with a 23inch by 3inch rim and in the back 18inch by 5.5 is this correct?

A 90/90-21 fits under the stock fender. Tweaking the stock fender you can cram a 120 on a 3" rim but looks like ****. 18x4.25 with a 160-55 will go under the back. with a 170 you'll have to tweak the frame horns some.Your limited to 7-1/4" between the horns on the 05's and earlier. You can spread the horns and fender to 7-3/4 without being able to notice it. Go on over to the Night Train picture thread on here. Those guys have done it all and will save you some time and frustration with misinformation.
Welcome to the boards 86.By the way that's a 160-16 under my fender in the sig pic. It fills the fender nicely.
