To answer your question the way you have it worded, you can install a 180 if you also change the fender and wheel, all else is stock. If you mean using stock wheel I've ran a 140 on my 2012 Limited and have heard of guys running 160's on this forum but never seen it.

Where did you get the fender and the wheel at, I'm wanting to do mine this winter and was going to Native Bagger for the stuff but if there is another way thats cheaper I'd appreciate the info !!
You can run bigger tires if they fit unto your rim, the biggest issue is the fender clearance...check into a different fender then the present one and see what tire size fits on your present rim....or you can do what I also did as rlh7677..and get the 180 kit....best mod by far on the bike....rides like a dream....
I looked at the Native Bagger kit and figured I would do it myself, here's what I did and how much I have in it. The Led Sled guys have a rear chopper fender listed on their web sight , order an 8" wide,it was $150 and they will cut the wrap style fender pattern for you but you will need to mock it up ,drill and fit & finish yourself. The cans you are able to cut with a hand held cut off saw, mark 1" higher on the inside from the stock length and bring a line down to meet the outside length, cut, and polish as they are stainless and they will look like chrome.As for the wheel, mine is a Revtech 5.5 rear used/new/display that was on ebay for $350, had to buy a new hub for $350 so I have $700 in entire wheel set up. Any brand rear modular wheel will work that suits your wanting that will take a front hub. So dollar wise I have $850 in wheel and fender, $275 Avon 180/55/18 tire, and about $500 for paint which includes some finish work on fender. So for entire conversion as you see it on my bike little over $1,625. Rides and handles beyond my expectations, in my opinion it's one of the best mods that you can do that has both function and eye appeal to the max for the money ! You can use the stock rotors but I bought Revtech's from JPcycles, also ***** Shiny makes the best looking hub covers, also I have ABS so order your hub accordingly . The end result is awesome, good luck, I also included a battle scar pic, you can scrape boards and pipes and the bike looks up and laughs at you like it's saying "is that all you got " cause the thing is glued to the road !
