Default Identify this wheel

Let's play identify this wheel. I bought this wheel off a member on here a while back. I was told it's an 18" wheel. I plan to put it on my '14 street glide to get a bit more sidewall on the front tire.

I bought a 18" tire....took it in to the local Honda shop (local HD shop closed an I didn't like them anyway) an he told me the tire was too small for him to mount on the wheel.

My google results show this wheel to be a 2017 CVO wheel in 18".....is the Honda guy wrong? There was a very knowledgeable indy near me but he shut down an retired.

18" is 18"
MEASURE the rim
What are the OTHER dimensions of the tire you purchased ?
Perhaps the issue is the width

I measured it an it's about 19" it's hard to get a true measurement because of the offset area in the middle of the wheel for the rotor to mount. I know the tire has to sit inside the lip of the wheel to seal. I don't see any markings on the wheel either. Usually there's 18x3 or 19x3.5 but I don't see anything. wonder if the powder coat covered it.

an 18 will measure 19 on the outside lip
go measure your current 19, bet it`s 20

How wide is the new rim ?
What size tire did you buy ?

It's a new wheel I had to install bearings I bought it in the classifieds on here. I measured the enforcer on street glide which is off for polishing the lowers an it was around 20.

I bought a 130/70/18

Did you follow the measuring procedure shown in post #5? A stock Street Glide front wheel is 19".
