If you look at the specs of the Turbine wheels for Breakout, it says for FXSB

18x8

Tires: 240/250/260/280

What's the maxium width rubber on a 8.5 rim that will fit ?

But according to Heartland, you can put the 280, but a change of belt to 20mm.

The wheel actually is 8", my bad. I was going from memory, but I just went out to the garage and looked.
You might be able to get a 280 under the stock fender with some creative spacers and a narrower belt, but it would be a hell of a squeeze.
As for a 280 on an 8.5" wheel, I think that is fine. I wouldn't go any bigger than a 250/260 on the stock wheel personally.

My bad for the bad info. The rocker rear wheel is 18x8.5 so I assumed the breakout was the same thing.
