Man, I almost tipped back in my chair IRT the OP's title...thought he got clocked doing 190mph on his FLHX - whew!

Yes, you should have ability for wider tire w/little mod, or do complete rear-end kit (more $$$). Depends on what you're go'n for...

thanks all for the responses and especially FrenchBiker for the bump...seems we still don't have anyone running a 200 on a stock 16" wheel on here to respond. I would love to do it, but not sure it is worth the risk

Anyone?

I am hoping to do no mods, just mount it and run it...else it is not worth it to me, the 180 is already a nice wide footprint, I was just thinking if I am changing it, why not right?

I think the widest tire you can mount on an 09 or 10 without mods is a 195/60-16 car tire .......... but that's a totally different subject.
