Which is better 19 inch wheels or 18 inch?
The 19-inch wheels definitely look the coolest. But the 17- and 18-inch setups offer a better compromise of grip, acceleration, price, and ride harshness, so we’re not surprised VW uses 17- and 18-inch sizes on its hot Golf, the GTI. If it’s acceleration you’re after, stick with the smaller, lighter wheels and tires.
Can a 16 ” Street Glide be a rear wheel?
Rear is optional and mine is the stock 16″ Street Glide Airstrike since you can’t see it with the extended bags. NCBILL likes this. That doesn’t sound right. In actuality, you’re only raising the front end by 2 1/2″.
What’s the difference in handling to a 21 ” front wheel?
That doesn’t sound right. In actuality, you’re only raising the front end by 2 1/2″. I’m riding on a 21 x 2.75 on my 08 softail, it came that way stock, the frame is different of course, but it’s smooth at 75-80. None….. 21 on there for 5 years, zero handling issues.
What’s the difference between a 16 and a 21 tire?
Stand a stock 16″ with a 90 series profile tire next to a 21″ with a 70 series profile and you’d see they’re very close in overall height and circumference. The best example is post # 3 of this thread….look at the 2 pictures, the rim gets bigger but the tire sidewall gets smaller.

When did Harley Davidson change front wheel bearings?
Depending on what year and model bike, front wheel axle size will vary. Starting in 2000, Harley went to 1″ front axle bearings on touring bikes. In 2008, they went to a 25.8mm bearing, which is a fraction of an inch different.
Which is better a 19 ” tire or a 21 ” tire?
Made in the USA. The 21″ front wheel from Harley came with either a 2.15″ or 3.5″ width tire. The wider tire will give slightly improved handling and a bit more stability. If you like to throw you bike into a corner, a 19″ wheel will handle better than a 21″ wheel.
