30” is the biggest I’ve seen on a bagger.

Takes some mods mods of course...

How big you want to go?

Largest could also mean wide, as well as big in diameter. What do you have in mind, front or rear wheels, or both? Just as diameter has limitations or requires other mods, so also does width!

Since there's not much info in OP's question I will assume he means OEM wheel and components. IMO, from a "practical" stand point, the largest you could upgrade to would be a 19" Enforcer wheel and Brembo brake calipers.
