Will 18" wheels fit on a 99 Ironman without any modifiacations? I like the way the newer ones look with the bigger wheels.

I'm going to pick the VX tomorrow in Memphis and I am a little bit excited about it.

Congrats! Yeah, the 18's sure look a lot better than the old 16's, and I'm 90% sure they will fit fine. Better get confirmation from someone else first tho.

If you are talking about the stock 18 rims w stock tires... yes. It will fit without any modifying. Larger size tires may mean you have to shave off some cladding edges.

Fixing to go to Memphis to pick it up. Who knows maybe even stop by Graceland and get a blessing from the King.

I am going to add 18" tires to my list along with a tint job. Gotta make it look good for the people.

.... and speaking of 18" wheels ........
.
if you are considering the OEM VX 18" wheels, be aware that they have a reputation of/for the chrome 'peeling' on the inside portion of the wheel ......
