Really?

Why?

Even a FL springer?

Here is a 21x3.5 on a Springer. 120/70/21 tire. Admittedly, my knowledge regarding springs is lacking, but it seems it can be done. https://www.google.com/search?q=spri...ml%3B985%3B739

I got a 130 on my springer but I also made the fender mounts to make a fender fit it. Thays on an 18 inch rim. I dont remember the exact tires size off the top of my head.

If not what size tires should I buy and do those come with the whitewall. Are they any other things (spacers, New pully, New brakes) that I would need to do if I buy 16.3.5 rims. I'm getting so many mixed opinions on this matter between different dealers. Thanks!

Use a 16x5.00 rim & a 180/65B16 WWW will fit.
Same tire as a Road King Classic.
You might need to change a few parts to same as 2007+ Fat Boy.
