You guys reckon I could squeeze a 160 on the stock 16x3.5 rim?  Or is the extra 10mm not worth the issues it may cause?

 

It's a 2012 Iron.

 Just curious, would it be worth it for performance or just looks? Don't get me wrong, wide tyres always look the goods, but i'm scraping the metal pegs under my footrests all the time and not have scrubbed out the 2/3rd margin of the rear tyre yet.  

Why are you after fitting a wider tyre? Looks...

Just interested.

 BTW you've come a long way since the red bike and the current set up looks the business!!

Well done, you should do another photoshoot with the new pipe, I like it a lot.

Thanks man! I've got some new spokes on the way. Will make it stand out a bit more for sure. I plan on getting my bud to snap a few more once on.

Yeah it's just for looks. Nothing else. I was gonna buy a proper set of white walls, as the ones I had done keep cracking and peeling off. Figured if I was going to buy new tyres, might as well see if I can go a bit bigger.
