Stock FXST maximun Tire allowed

Hi guys

I want to upgrade my stock FXST Softail 2000 to a bigger-wider wheel and low profile tire without changing the stock swingarm, do you know the maximun width and clearance allowed?
I am planning to go 18" and 180 tire but not sure if it fits.

Also if I need to change something else as sproket and belt, let me know!

thanks and saludos from Spain!!

I think you can go up 2 sizes, but you might need to go with the smaller belt and sprocket.

What year bike is yours, and did you have to change out the belt to get the bigger tire on there?

....... 01 FXST , I don't remember if your belt was Bigger , they changed-um some Time around there , I had too change the Left rear Fender Bolt around , ... it wasn't rubbin lookin at it in the garage , when I came back from a Ride , I looked at the Tire and I could see where it was Rubbin a little , so shaved a little off the Bolt head .... and that Fixed-it ....
