I just picked up a '83 Heritage and want to have wider rims laced to my hubs.

Questons:
1. What are the stok wheel widths?
2. How wide can I go on the rear with out interferance?
3. Has anyone had experience with going 17" front and rear?

Thanks,
Jim

I would love to knw these answers as well. I think a bobber would look awesome with matching fat wheels of the same diameter.
