21/16 wheel combo

I have a 2007 HD Street Glide. I want to upgrade the wheel look by adding a 21 inch front wheel. I havent decided what I am going to do with the rear end, either an 18 inch rear wheel upgrade or a wide tire kit. In the meantime, I would like to add a 21 inch front wheel and keep the stock 16 inch rear wheel which has been chromed, with matching tire brands.

Does anyone have feedback/opinions on the 21 front 16 rear combo?

The 18 rear with the low profile tire is about the same diameter as the 16,just less sidewall. I don't see where it would be a issue. Sure can't see much of the 18 on mine.

id like to see a pic of a 21/stock 16 wheels. Thats alot of money to spend on the rear wheel if you cant see it. Dont get me wrong i love the look of 21/18 but i cant afford a rear wheel right now.

Sweet Hawg Chop Top. What brand/style 21" rim you have and did you have to lower the front any?

Here is my 07 with 21/16 and love it! Still need to lower the front and drop the rear with a air ride set up. Love the look of the 21/16 better than the 21/18. Good luck man...
