Default The Stock rim size.
Says 16x6.5 thats damn small. So whats the widest tire you can run on this. I know on my bird i was always told you can only run up to a 255 on a 7 inch wheel.

depends on how tall the tire, taller tires can be wider since theres more side wall to make the trasistion from the wide tread to narrow rim... ive seen alot of the 285 75r16 ( 33x11 or so ) on the HD rims
