Default Rear tire

Wondering if a 200/55/17 will fit my 04 SE Deuce ..it has a Screaming Eagle 180/60/17 Dunlop on it now.

Hi from the UK and welcome to HDF. Your stock tyre was a 160/17, so the 180 is already oversize. Check the website of your preferred brand for recommended rim width. Your rim is 4.5" and the 200/55s I have checked call for a minimum of 6".
