Hi all, I have a 2000 FLHTCU with a 2004 Lehman trike kit on it. It has stock Lehman wheels with drum brakes. Does anyone know if the stock tri-glide wheels will fit my kit? Thanks.....Mike

Lakeman, I am not sure about the disc brake being a option on your kit. It could be a conversion kit like 1550vt has. Does your kit have the stock Lehman aluminum wheels on it with the 245's, if not, what size tires do you run?
this suzuki - lehman trike has the 245/60r15's and they're a bear to both remove and put back on due to the lack of clearance at the fender/wheel wells.
Could i put on either the 215/60/15's or the 205/70/15's using the same rim that the 245's are on now ?
Thanx in advance.......thumbup
are you sure they are not 245/50/15 ?
You can replace them with 225/60/15 or 205/70/15. The diameter of the tire (s) are almost the same but the tread width is wider in the 50 series than the 70 series. The rims are 7" or 8" wide and will fit.
Thanx, Lee......Doubled-checked and they're Dunlop G/T Qualifiers, P245/60R15's. If I'm not mistaken, the first number is the tread width in millimeters. For example, the 245 would be 245mm wide, which is just shy of 9 3/4". More than anything, it seems to be the width of the tire that's fighting me every time.
As long as these original rims will accept 205 thru 245, am going to opt for 215/60/15's, approx. 8 1/2" wide and probably just the ticket for the much needed clearance.
Thanx again and enjoy the weekend ThumbUp
