Brill I'll look out for a set then. Would they be OK on the current alloys or will I need narrow wheels? And sorry for all the questions I'm new to this but what do mud tyres handle like for road driving?
You need to measure the wheel width to be sure its 8" (I think some of the fatboy vits had 10" wide wheels).
The 215/75 are 8.5" wide, which would be more than a little tight on them if they are 8" and a no-go for 10". Would also look a bit odd on 8" as wouldnt have much if any sidewall bulge.
Finally if they are 8" or more then there either offset a fair bit or using spacers to make them fit. I have 15x8 modulars and they catch without spacers on the hub carrier.

I have measured from the back of the wheel rim to the front face and its roughly 8" definitely no more, they are mounted with out spacers and have a large concave so I would guess that the offset is pretty. I'll have to try and find some more wheels then.
