Is there any widened swingarms for ironheads in the aftermarket?  Or is it possible to get a 180 onto the back of a 73 frame?  Swingarm measures less than 6 inches wide where it matters and I know the tires for a 17" 5.5 rim are about from 7 to 8 inches wide.

 You guys and your BIG tires.
Cripes, it's like God gave you a little unit and you have to make up for it by havibng BIG tires.

You always come back with the most creative and useful comments!  I'm talking 180 here not 300, 330 or 360.  I for one am not a fan of the fat tire craze either.  Just so happens I have a slick set of wheels, the rear one is a 5.5 rim.

You are going to get into the chain or fender.  I wouldn't try it.
