Default 17" black wheels w/160 tire on SG.

It took awhile but we finally got it done.&nbsp\\; We had a 17" drop center wheel&nbsp\\;black powder coated, used chrome spokes &amp\\; mounted a 160 tire on the rear of an 07 Street Glide.&nbsp\\; My bike w/stock 16" 140 tire next to hogdoc's for compairson.

Nothing to do with the new wheels but wanted to show off my wax job.&nbsp\\; Hogdoc's bike reflected in the tank of my bike, just a cool pic.

Yeah, I am in need of a rear tire. If I could get a 160 on there, without much effort, I would love the added rubber. Let me know what modifications you did, please...

Only slightly.&nbsp\\;a 160 Dunlop tire measures 169 mm, inside of rear fender measures 172 mm after grinding off fender edge.&nbsp\\; Wheel offset is VERY Critical.
