Default Factory Wheel Sizes

The factory 5 spoke cast wheels on my cop king are 17" front 16" rear. Does this same wheel come in larger sizes (18") on thge SG RG? If so will it fit under a RK fender?

The Street glide has an 18" front wheel. Yes it will fit on a Road King

SG/RG fronts come in 16,17, and 18 depending on the year. 08 and up wheels are direct bolt on for 08 and up bikes. O.D. is basically the same for all 3 just the rim diameter and sidewall height vary. ABS bikes will need the correct ABS bearing in the wheel however.

Ok, so if my 2009 with ABS has a factory 17" wheel, I can run a SG 18" ABS wheel no problem. I understand that the tire will have a smaller aspect ratio resulting in a thinner sidewall which when combined with the larger wheel roughly equals he smaller 17" wheel with a taller side wall due to a greater aspect ratio.
