Default Replacing wheels on bagger

I have a 2006 HD-RG and would like to replace wheels and tires. The front will have a Hog Pro Torque 7 21 X 3.50 with a Torque 7 18 X 4.25 rear. I have heard changing the front from a 16" wheel to a 21" wheel will give me wobble and/or handling problems. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have a 06 Roadglide and am thinking about replacing the stock wheels with Hog Pro Torque 7 wheels. The front will have a 21 X 3.50" and the rear will have a 18 X 4.25. I have heard from another RG owner he a wobble and/or handling problems when changing from the stock 16" wheels. Any advice is appreciated.

just do some searching and reading,, also call the wheel makers and talk to them.

lots of members going to 21 fronts and haven't read of any isssues from just the wheel.
Have read some issues when U start lowering them and changing the rake angle..

It's not the size so much as the build.If you don't use a reinforced sidewall tire you'll get the wiggles.
