No it wont fit. Even if it fit the rim it would never go under the fender or clear the belt drive. You can by a wide tire kit, but there is more to them then meets the eye. Plus IMO a 200 tire and rim is a little big (and heavy) for an 883. What size do you have on there now?

Metzler ME880 160 is the widest I know of - a 200 would definitely require some mods.
