Default rear tire ??

I have an '11 flhx.... has the stock 180 65 16 on the back. Looking to put a 200mm on. Anyone done this? What profile should i get to be close to the stock height? 60?? There doesn't seem to be a big selection for 200x16 out there....I have a avon venom on the front.... would like to get one for the rear. Any help would be appreciated.... Thanks!

I can't help with where to get a tire, or which one will do what you want, but here's the size comparison/calculator you are looking for.
