Hey, new victory owner well new to me anyway. I got a 01 v92 and was wondering how big of a back tire will fit in the fender?

Stay with stock anything wider will rub the fender frame and or the fender bolt.

That is not the answer I wanted. Thinking there must be a way to get a 200 in there. May have to investigate further.

The 4.5" rim used on that bike keeps you to a max of 160. If you get a 5.5x17" wheel from an SC you can fit a 180 under the fender. Any wider then that, and you rub the internal struts.
The drawback to the SC wheel is that the tires available are all sportbike tires that last about 6000 miles max. Though you can fit a 195/50 car tire on it

Kevin what is the max size tire? I know two people that went wider and the tire rubbed.
