Default Wheel size?

I have a 2012 Ultra limited and I was wondering what wheel size would be good without modifying the forks. I would also like to put a wider tire in the rear.

Thanks in advance!
Lee

Hey Lee, I would look for new Street Glide wheels (take offs) and you'd get an 18" up front and leave the back the same. The rear, I think, is plenty wide. You might be able to get up to a 200 in the rear but I'm not totally sure.

Thanks DresserDude!
I'm actually thinking of going with an aftermarket wheelset. Maybe a 21 inch up front.

Blk Limited, what wheel and size did you end up putting on your limited? I'm looking at doing the same thing. I ran across a brand new set of enforcers off a 15 Road Glide, just curious as to how your project turned out.
