This is true, don't do it unless you are also willing to lower the front end too.

My 2 cents
I have bought 2 sets of rims from Sam at Ride Wright Wheels in CA. www.ridewrightwheels.com He is the owner and will give you personal service. I have found his customer service to be topped by no one!
Custom built your way, size width, color and option, Guaranteed for life, built in the USA!
So I own 2 sets, one on my wifes deluxe, and on my streetglide. Mine are 21/3.5 in front and 18/4 in the back. Fat Daddy 50 spokes, I get more complements on the rims than any other part of the bike.
As far as handling goes at highway speeds I feel no difference, now at parking lot speeds, yes a difference, more of a gyroscope feel, and a little harder to turn, and a little like riding a raked out chop, but I don't spend a lot of time in parking lots. I ride around 7500-10000 miles a year. Plus some of this is also caused by the fact I am running 16" apes. If I had it do do over again would I? YES YES no question, I love them and the best part is it sets you apart from all the Billet rimmed bikes! Give them a call, price the rims and decide for yourself.
Just my 2 cents. John
