Default Wheel size question 07 night train

I am thinking about some custom wheels for my 07 train. The ones I am looking at do not come in 17" which I believe is stock for the rear of my bike. Can I go to 18" with just a tire change or is their something more to it? How about width...how wide is the stocker and can it go any wider?

you can go 18x5.5 with a 200 tire. Stock is 17x6.25. If you can find a wheel in the 17" size, you can go 210mm, but it's tight.

TX is right, an 5.5 X 18" will bolt right in.

just to note though, I'm getting my wheels from PM and when I talked to them they stated they dont have the measurements for the hubs yet....oooohhh

So I took my wheels off and measured, thought it was weird that the axles were a little smaller than 1" and 3/4".....PM said that for 07 they changed the axles to "metric" sizing. So if you plan on getting a used set be ready to swap out the bearings.

Mine got delayed because of our Ice storm this past week so I have to wait for mon. no matter the tires dont come till wed.
Ill post pics soon
