Got the 19" and 18" and love it. Have and extra tire in the garage if I ever need it. Not that much of a ride difference from the 18" and 16".

Looks like I'm the only one that went with 18s all around. More tire choices and it fit the new fender.

I went with the 18" rear and 19" front set up on my 09 FLTR, but I also went with Progressive 940's out back and progressive monotubes up front. The net difference is minor when you take into account the taller wheel diameter. A nice touch to finish it all off was a front fender lowering kit to slam the fender and create more space between the bottom of fairing and top of the fender. This is not the greatest picture, but you will get the idea.

Default 18" Front 18" Rear

18" front and rear for me, Contrast Chrome Agitators on a silver 2010 street glide. Backordered since 2/28 but coming in tomorrow.

Tire options for front was a deciding factor plus I like the 18 just fine.

wew99,

Could you post a picture of your front wheel and forks? I like what you did but it is hard to see exactly in your post picture. Also what did you do to lower your front fender? Thanx in advance.

Has anybody seen a bagger with just the front wheel changed? It's so hard to see much of the rear I bet most casual observers wouldn't notice.

The 18 looks so much better. Tire selection is huge too. A no-brainer, go with the 18.
