Are you talking about the 16" disc wheels that came on Fat Boys and some Sortsters?

Yes, but Sportsters kept using the 00-02 softail variant.

Either way, are you sure about the offset change, when they went from 130 to 150 on the Dyna they went to a more narrow belt, but the wheel hubs did not change at all.

Softails only made the offset change for the increase in Tire size and kept using the same 1-1/2" belt. Dynas went to a Thinner belt.

Look up 2000-02 vs 2003-05 Fatboy rear wheel Part #s (also belt part#s and descriptions)... But I'm not going by that entirely, I've had many of those wheels.

Thank you, this is great info.

I actually really like the look of the Fat Boy wheels, but I went with the Deuce version, to be able to run a 17" tire

My bike has a 150/80B16 on it now. Tire shop put it on not long ago and it fit no problem. In fact, they didn’t even cut the fender bolts down like they said they would. I know this because I just recently upgraded them to the chrome colony rear fender bolt kit from low brow. So with that being said I would be happy just to get a 160 in there. Which is what I heard came on the deuce. 170 would be cool as hell, but if a 160 goes I probably wont push my luck. Thanks for the input gents.

Yeah, Im still very thankful for the help you gave me with the Deuce wheel, it turned out really good, it looks very cool with the 170 tire.

Yeah, it looks good ... Did you happen to measure the width of that 170 installed on that 4.5" rim?

That's a 17x4.5" Deuce wheel

Quote:

The wheel is already installed on the bike, with a Bridgestone 170/60-17 tire that clears the belt with 1/8".
