Yes they can, by Wheel Works, in Garden Grove, California. Street Chopper has a story on how it is done.

Shawn, it is 140mm wide, and 90% of that from bead lip to top of tread. But only at sidewall inflation pressures. And only when new. The width is a static figure, the height changes with pressure loss and wear.

If you plan to run saddlebags, i recommend you invest in a 130/90/15. Will turn more readily (increased lean angle, 10mm does in fact make a difference) and you won't have rubbing issues.

I've got 12.5" shocks & the fender's WAY up over the tire. My 140/90-15 Metzler has nearly an inch of clearance from the swingarm.

I have the 12.5" Progressives and there's way more than enough clearance with my 140/90-15 Dunlop 491. The stock shocks are 10.5" and the 11" or 11.5" Progressives should do very well.
