Lower belt guard will rub
belt will rub
tire will probably rub inside fende bolts.

make sure it has the flat or thin plates inside the fender for full clearance
you will need spacers to offset the pulley and have to modify the belt covers (cut them)

Probably have to have spacers cut and the brake caliper machined down to move the tire.

measure everything twice or three times.

I could not get more than a 160 in my Heritage
