Default Tire information HELP!!

So will a 130 / 70 / 18 front tire fit where a 130 / 80 / 17 was originally, is the outside diameters close to the same and have no clearance issues. Like the looks of the street glide rims found a great deal on a set with new tires on them. Help!!!

I think it will. The fender rides with the lower forks.

As long as you have an 18x3.5 rim the 130/70/18 will fit under the stock fender on a bagger fine.

Yes a street glide wheel will fit on any other bagger. I have them on my 13 Ultra

Make sure you have ABS bearings in the wheels if you have ABS brakes. You need the correct bearings to work correctly.

I just bought a set of Street Glide wheels for my Ultra Classic. My new (to me) front wheel is a 18" also off a 2011 Street Glide going on my 2010 Ultra Classic.

I like the looks and the ability to check tire pressure a lot easier.

When I need tires I'll change the wheels at the same time.
