Default wheel size question

I have a 93 sportster and I am wondering what the front/rear rim sizes are?

The purple and orange bike is 90. Stock wheel was 19x2.15 we put a 21 on and didn't have to change anything. It just fills in the wheel well better.

So on the rear can I go to a 150 if I went with an aftermarket wheel say a 16X3.5

Thats what I did with mine. My bike stock was 16x3 with a 150 tire. I got the 16x3.5 wheel and the same size 150 tire. Everything bolted right up with NO clearence issues. I don't see why a 93 would be dif.since they use the same size stock as mine. Who ever you order from just tell them what you have and they will hub accordingly. If unsure call Harley they can tell you for sure.

I just called our Harley dealer and he doesn't think a 3.5 with a 150 will fit on the older Sporty without some fender and swingarm mods. I was right on the stock being 3" and the stock tire is a 130 90.
