Hi all,
I have a chance to buy two new tires and rims from a 2013 RG. The Front is 17" and the Rear is 16". My bike has 16" stock on Front and Rear. Question is: Can I put the 17" wheel on my '08 FLHTCU with no problems. The wheels are a killer deal.....
Thanks in advance for any help.
Chris
It better be a REAL "Killer Deal" because you can only use the Front wheel/tire (Rear Tire or Wheel won't fit). Then it won't match your existing Rear. Additionally, those 2013 RG "28 Knuckle" wheels are pretty low in Demand, which means cheap prices
Anyways, Front is a direct fit on your 08 as long the bearings are "Like for Like" ... in reference to being ABS bearing equipped or not
