220 is not going to fit. 200 is the widest. Check the other thread you started. One thread is usually enough.

I agree, I'm coming off an 2007 Fatty which had a 200+ width tire on the back and a 140 (?) on the front.......not a well handling machine. It looked bad-*** but could not corner worth a hoot. I think the stock SG is absolutely perfect in the handling department.

a 200 rear with a 21 front (120/70/21 or 130/60/21 will handle very well. This is by far the most popular size combo for baggers 2000 and newer. I run a 120/70/21 on my 13 FLTRX with the stock rear for now (money is tight) and the bike handles great. I'll do a 200 /17 when finances allow.
A fatboy is completely different than a bagger. Different frame, different motor, etc etc. My bagger with a few simple mods handles far better than my softail ever did. Of course my 05 bagger was not quite as nice as the 13 due to the newer frame setup.
