I have a 21" front, 18" rear combo and havent had any problems. Check my sig. Also have a couple of pics of a SG, RG and a KANGdone by LO-LIFE CUSTOMS in Stockton, CA. Have fun.

I have 18x3.50 Reaper wheels with Avon Venom tires on my bike. I bought them from MC Motorsports for under $1,100 including the front rotors.

I have the mc motorsports reaper with a 21 in front and an 18 in the rear running metzler tires. I love the looks and the price was right.

Do you have to change the front fender with both the 18 and 21 or just the 21?

Talk with Shooter64 (Bart) before you order anything from anyone!
He just made me a sweet deal on a set of PM Wheels & Brakes.
