How about on a Deluxe Hogpro, on stock 16" wheels? I would like some bigger rubber if at all possible but I would also want them to be WWW tires. If a bigger size would fit but didn't come in WWW I don't think I would be interested. Thanks in advance.

On a 16x3.5 wheel a 150 is the widest you can safely put on.

Stock wheels on a Heritage or Deluxe are 3", all aftermarket 16"'s that I sell are 3.5".

whats the widest tire i can fit on an 18 X 4.25 rim under a 2013 Deluxe, want the "FAT" look without going through to much surgery :-) should i look at a wider rim also....

i would like to stick with the Metzler tire if possiable but will concider other options

i was thinking to widen the rear fender & go to a 200 tire but an concerned it may change the total look of the bike

regards
Rod

Rod,
On the 18 x 4.25, the widest tire on a stock 13' Deluxe would be a 160/60-18. If you want the 200 tire, then mods are going to have to be done.

If you want a real fat look a Heartland kit would probably be the best way to go, granted it is not too pocketbook friendly. We have installed quite a few of them ehre at the shop and they always come out really nice. The nostalgic look of the Deluxe really is not designed for wider rear tire in my opinion, but it's your bike.
