Default max stock narrow glide wheel width?

i'm still plotting on adding the 19"x3.0" roadster 10 spoke wheels to my 2007 XL-CN. i can not find a chart that gives max width.

this does not address width


a 21x2.15 is not wider than a 19x2.5

anyone know the great width possible on a narrow glide? i'm trying to avoid a superlow or 48(pre-2016 41mm) tree because of the fixed bar clamp nonsense that requires special riser adapters to get more height. i want to keep my current bar height.
whuuh? this:

Maybe a 120, or depending on manufacturer. I'm running a Avon 110 in my narrow glide. Avons website has it listed at an actual width of 119mm. And I have about 3mm clearance on each side. I hope that's info your looking for

yeah looks like a 120/70-21 from the chart tire-wise... i'm looking more for the actual hub size not so much the tire.

C, That Roadster probably is a Mid-glide width, so the wheel won't fit your narrow glide directly

i know. i was trying to get around that stupid fixed clamp without going aftermarket. the tree set is only about $400 but, i want to just unbolt/rebolt my bars/lines/tubes over to the new trees. the older 48 and superlow trees will give me all but the bar clamps. looks like i don't really have a choice in the matter unless i go after market unless there are some options that i'm not aware of... which is more than likely the case.
