Street Glide Wheels
Hello guys. I am new to the Harley world. I just got a 2006 Street Glide and I have the opportunity to buy a set of wheels for it. I was wondering if you guys can help me figuring out if these wheels and tires will fit. The front is a 21" rim with a 90/90 21 54H Avon tire and the rear is an 18"rim with a180 55ZR 18 Avon tire. All I know is the came off a 2004 Deuce. Thanks guys for the help in advance.

the 21" front will fit but you will will need to elongate the holes for the front fender to change the angle so it will clear - the rear is another story, i do not believe the 180 will fit with the stock swingarm (to wide) 160 at most with belt guard trimming needed also the 06 sg has 1" axles - now if you change out the wheels i am interested in the stock mags - no tires - pm me & let me know - thanks -

bigdaddy is right about using a large diameter pizza cutter wheel/tire on the front. remember the first part of your suspension is the air in your tires. remember back when you were a kid riding bicycles. a ten speed with the very skinny tires would feel every crack in the pavement or sidewalk. on the other hand a 26" fat tired bike wouldn't even notice those cracks. that's because the sidewall and volume of air absorbs those hits. the larger the air volume, the more cushy the suspension feels, and vice/versa.
