    Hi guys, I'm thinking of putting a set of  DNA big mammoth wheels on my 2010 wide glide.

    The rear wheel only comes in a 18 x 5.5. or 16 x 5.5 and I want a 23x3.5 up front. 

    Was told the 16 inch with a low profile would work fine ??

    Will this work work with out any modifications ? 

    Thanks.

    another thing is the 19in (with tyre) outside diameter is the same as the 21in with tyre if the 21in has a low profile tyre on it so can you get a 23in with a lower profile tyre than the 21in that way keeping the outside diameter the same and then not changing the guard

    Ended up going with a 18x55 and 200 rear tyre 

    up front is a 23inch, both DNA big mammoth with matching rotors and pulley. 

    Should be done in a month or so ordered them about 3 weeks from the states, I'll keep you all posted. 

    Cheers hamerz......

    So you can fit the 200 in the wide glide pretty easy with no clearance issues anywhere?
    I guess it's no problems as it had a 180 to start with.

    I might have an issue cause I've lowered the rear end. Other than that the guy installing said he's put em on plenty of dyna's. I'll keep you all posted once I get it done.

    200 tyre will fit the wide glide but just hope your rim is laced/machined so when fitted it runs centre of your fender. When I fitted my fat 50s the rim was not centre the 200 tyre did rub and that was with a thin 200 tyre because 200 tyres are not all the same width. I went to dealer got a few different brands of tyre and laid them on their side on the concrete and picked the lowest (narrowest) one. I think Dunlop was one of the widest ones and I have seen a wide glide with a Dunlop fitted but there was very little room left in the fender to close for my liking and it looked like the drive belt was to close to the tyre about a 1mm or less. My Tyre was hitting the belt until I put a pulley spacer on when I moved the rim over to stop the tyre rub. Good luck I hope you do not have these problems.( thanks again for your help Daggs)

    No probs Denoz, that's the thing with fitting a 200 (and customizing in general)

    people say yes it will fit or no it wont fit but each case CAN be different so you have to know your shit or at least be prepared to do some work. That's what customizing is.
    Individual bike set up can be different, wheel hub to rim offset can be different, guards may be different so its hard to give a definite yes or no answer
