Default New front wheel maybe...

I was going to do some airbrushing on the bike, but not having much luck with the painter. He is just being vague about pricing and not really committing to the job. So now I am thinking I might forget about the airbrush thing, and go for a front wheel. Stock 16" front wheel on a 2000 Road Glide. The front fender is a lowered stock Harley piece. I don't know if I should stay with 16" or go to 18" Not sure if the 18 will fit under the fender. I have put on 4"stretched bags and fender, so would the 18" front wheel change the clearance at the back of the bike? Not wanting to scrape the new paint. Anybody changed wheel size on this bike. Any place where there are deals on wheels and rotors. J&P, Dennis Kirk or ???
Thanks for any input. Trying to get this done soon, riding season is coming.
