Default Need help Choosing size

I bought some new wheels for my 07 RKCustom. I got 16X3.5 rear and 18X3.5 fronts. What are the tire sizes I can put on there? The rear I can prolly just got with the same one I had but I have no clue for the 18" front. I think I want to try the pirelli's. What do you guys think?

for the front, you can use the 130/70/18 size tire. I prefer to use the Metzeler ME880's on the wheels we ship out with tires, unless the customer prefers another brand. The ME880 has good wear life and also features their zero grow technology.
