What size after market rear wheel for 09 SG?
So I'm thinking of getting the matching rear wheel for my 09 SG. I would be getting a recommend 17x6.25 wheel with a 200mm/55R-17 tire. Does this combo fit with no clearance issues? What about the 18" rear setup? If I member correctly the rear on my 09 SG has been lowered 2". Thanks!

I agree, go with the recommend proper size tire. ALSO don't forget the payload.
There are the same size tire out there but the load rate changes.
I learned a long time ago with a cars/trucks. With tires make sure they are in good shape and the right size, because your life is rolling on them.
As for the question regarding the 18" rims, at least on my bike. The 200 is a no go. Sure it will fit, but correctly.

I just Installed a matching Chrome on Mine....17" 6.25 wide....200 rear tire....that's as big as you can get under a 09.....you can go taller...18" will be the stock 5.5 wide...and a 180 tire...I like have the extra 3/4 width ...more rubber on the road....17" fits Just Fine with a 200...no Issues at All....

I took mine back to the Dealer where I bought it from...I know the Service manager there...3 1/2 hours away...just to get my wheels and fender installed...They build top end Custom Show Baggers....I trust the guy to handle Bike...He Said there are no issues on having a 17" 6.25/ 200 on the back....Main reason he said you can't do a 18" with 200 is it will rub the underside of the rear fender at higher speeds...guess the tire grows some at highway speeds...makes sense ...I wanted a wider stance anyway....went with a 21" on the Front.....Biggest help I had done was lowering the front end 1"...got it back to almost stock height....I can't even tell I am running taller wheels now
