What is the maximum rear wheel size for an 03 Ultra Classic? Also what is the size and how many teeth on the stock rear wheel sprocket?

Wheel size?, as in Outside Diameter? or width? Tire OD, or wheel OD????

Width of stock wheels are 3 1/2".

Guess I need more info than "maximum rear wheel size" what is it you want to do. I have a little experience doing wide tires on bikes. I can give you more numbers for OD and width than you care for and for different wheels, 16", 18" etc. and for 880 MEtzeler vs Dunlops, and there are many variations of Dunlops. I am willing to help.
