I have never seen a Harley wheel or tire in a half size.
Who makes these?

never seen the 1/2 size. I chose to go with the 18 to get the 200mm. At that i only have 1/8 clearance between the belt and sidewall

i just posted this on another thread
'i'm running the 17 6.25 with a metzler 200/50 17, bike is lowered with arnott air ride now but i rode it all summer with a 2" lowering block and the ride was fine. I have heard some complaints from guys that ran the 18" with the 200, most saying they had a lil rear end wobble. a couple have went back to the 180 with thier 18" and the wobble disappeared. fact or fiction i don't know"

I had a 200 on 18 rim -- the bike would wobble above 75mph -- went back to 180.

given an opportunity to do again I would go with the 17x6.25 with a 200
