Question Wheel ?

Looking at a set of front and rear tires and wheels off a 2009 Road Glide non abs. knowing the width of the 16-inch rear wheel is increased to five inches from three inches. Looking at the gap between drive belt and rear tire at about .500" doesn't seem possible that they would fit. I may of answered my own question, but you never know.

There are a couple of threads about retrofitting that wide wheel, but it required a lot of effort, including modifying the swingarm and fitting the wider later fender, or a widened one. I have squeezed in a Duece wheel with 160/70 tyre, but it is a close shave!
