160 tyre on a Softail Slim?
I've searched all over the place and still can't get a concrete answer. I know 150 fits but can you fit a 160 Tire without any mods? Sorry if I'm rehashing a old thread.

They're claiming you can go with a 18x4.25 rear wheel with a 160/60-18 tire WITHOUT MODIFICATIONS.
I haven't seen anyone here who has actually done it though...

Have you tried this, or know anyone who has?
I'm just curious why it won't work.
People here have run 150's without any problems or clearance issues (afaik), and the 160 is just 10mm wider, which is the thickness of a dime.

The main reason I'm asking is because if a 160 is going to be a problem, then I may rethink the idea of putting a 150 on next time - which up till now I had planned to do.
