I've just bought 18" wheels and am wondering what size ME880's to install;  130/70-18 or 140/70-18 front.  140/70-18 or 150/70-18 rear.

hear is a closer look at the front 130 front 150 back. The 130 is low profile where the 140 may fill the fender up a little more in the fronthttp://www.imageurlhost.com/images/9wmnvmx07i68ov1476xv.jpg

Black Pearl '06 Street Glide.  The 150 rear and 140 front sound good so far, the front 130 does look a little small.  What do you think of the ride? Clearance issues?  Room for bigger than 150/140?

140 may not fit as, with a 130 some fender brackets have to be slotted.

waskier, if the rear 18" is at least 4.25" wide you can run a 160-18 on your '06 Street Glide, that's what Phil at Hog Pro told me I could use on my '06 SG.
