Default I like big tires and I will not lie

Hey, I have a 2002 883 Hugger and am tryin to find parts to widen the rear tire to 280-300. Anyone have suggestions where to find custom swingarm, front and rear sprockets, spacers, etc? Wheels n tires too, I spose, tho I’ve seen a few. Also, how wide of a tire can I go on stock front wheel? Thanks in advance!

RSD,Zodiac, Carlson Mid West and ect offer wide swing arm with the proper front sprocket.

They all need to have some fab skill to be install; spacer and bracket.
