Default Any regrets going to a 21 inch wheel?
I am thinking of doing the 21 inch wheel on the front of my 09 SG. I've done a search on all topics with a 21inch front wheel. It seems it's split as to lowering the front 1 inch or not in regards to the low speed handling. Now I am wondering if anyone has any regrets going to a 21. If so what size rear wheel did you go with. Might make a difference. Thanks.

I went with the 21x18 set up and love it. I lowered the front 1.5 inches and put the Arnott air ride system on the rear.

The 21" looks great! On my FXRS it made high speed handling and cornering a little less "confident" though...

I just ordered the HD lowering kit today, to lower the front back down 1".

Me and the salesman did the best we could and we think mine measured 1 1/4"s taller than a stock '09 he had on the floor.
