I'm at the limit with a 110/90-18 (4.6" wide) front and a 130/80-18 (5.2" wide) rear. Avon Supervenoms. No fenders. I would check with the tire manufacturer to make sure yours will fit on the stock rims. My hoops are 3/8" wider than stock both front and rear in order to shoe horn my tires on.

I'm still considering relacing my wheels. they are ok but not pretty. so I may do new rims while I am at it. these are biggest firestone champion blackwalls coker lists in those rim sizes. going for the balloon look.
