Tri Glide rear wheels

Mykneesbehurtin · Nov 25, 2016

Does anyone know what the offset is for the rear wheels on a 09 thru 16 Tri Glide.

1dn5up · Nov 25, 2016

15x5.5 - 2.85 offset/backspace - 4x108mm bolt patern.
1979-93 Ford Mustang had same bolt pattern.
From what I understand, you can squeeze a 15x7 wheel with 3.5 back space with a 205 tire. No I have not done it. I like the oem wheel. Not many choices that I have found fit. Centerline # 8065806442 . That's all I can help with.

Always thought of rear wheels also, but then I like to have all the same and trying to find a front to match the rear would be very hard without doing a custom built one which would cost quite a bit. Guess I will stay with what I have for now.

Stock wheels are 15x5.5. Offset is -9mm which equates to 2.83" backspace.
There are lots of wheels out there in a 6" or 7" width,that can be ordered in the correct backspace and bolt pattern.

A set of Performance Machine or RC Component wheels will cost you around $3K or more. Both companies build what are considered "bike" wheels, nothing automotive.

My front wheel is a forged 18x3.5 bike wheel and the rears are 17x7 billet automotive wheels that I had built to my specs. Total cost was around $1,800.

For those prices that Clint44 posted, sounds like the harley rims would be the cheapest to get, my dealer told me the rims that harley has are built in Austratia (sp), that what he said and also said they are just as good as the aftermarket plus cheaper, just my take on it

Why does anyone want to change their wheels? Best guess is they want something that "everyone and their brother" do not have.

My reason was it's darn near impossible to keep the stock raw aluminum wheels clean and shiny. I sent mine out for chrome.

Mykneesbehurtin · Nov 29, 2016

I will have the stock ones chromed but a friend has an 09 tri as is rather,well cheap,and doesn't want to pay custom bike wheel prices.

How cheap is "cheap", Steve? I've seen quite a few rear wheels that would look good on a Tri Glide or Freewheeler, for around $300/each.

Thanks - And Happy New Year Gang!

Yes they all fit

I'm sure they will interchange if I would change wheels It would be after market lots out there any tire and wheel shop could assist you in selection. Clint has a wealth of knowledge on wheels and fitment on triglides PM Clint he is always glad to help. Please give him a little time to respond he is really busy right now.

I have a brand new set of 3 wheels for sale $400 + shipping.

My stock wheels got ruined a couple winters ago and I wanted to send them out to be plated, but changed my mind and kept them just for winter riding and bought a set of OEM wheels to send out to be plated instead. Changed my mind again and bought a set of H-D Anarchy wheels for the summer months.
So now I have that new set for sale if anyone is interested.
If your local or near by I can deliver and save shipping.

I'm almost positive they are interchangeable as I've seen TriGlide wheels on Frees,and vice versa.

Hope everyone has a Happy New Year, too.

Yes sir they will and a 19" Street Glide will also...

jc1300 · Jan 10, 2017

I'm thinking I like these better than the original TriGlide wheels because they are a bit more Black.....and match the bike. I'm still having the originals Powder Coated......but these might see some time too!
