RE: '04 wide tire

I think using the stock drivetrain you can roll a 150 wide. Stock should be 140.

I have a 150 Avon Venomon my Road King.

- The cheapest alternative I have found to go wider is to go with a chain drive (instead of a belt), and (I think) the fender is wide enough to allow you to run a 170.

Thanks for your help but all of those "i thinks" worry me, anybody actually put a 150 on a road king?

RE: '04 wide tire

I have a 160 on a SG with a 4.25 rim, I had to take off the belt guard to prevent rubbing. you can do a 150 with no problems or issues

RE: '04 wide tire

I had a 150 on my '04 RK Custom, when I replaced it you could see where it rubbed ever so gently. There was a shiny strip around the entire tire.. I went with a 140 (which I had already planned on doing) when I replaced it due toit's increased load rating.
