If I had to guess I'd say the bike in the pic has 16'' Harley rims on it. I onlt say that because it looks like what they call a dropped center rim. The valve stem on those wheel are in the center of the rim,whereas the earlier HD dropped center rims were offset. They take an oddball tube that is pretty pricey. I paid for $26 just for that one tube
That bike has the same rims and tire front and back. I've seen a couple bikes running matching tires front and back. They always use a front tire for both positions. Never seen one with a rear tire as a front. It's pretty cool look when they match up like that I think.
An enterprising man(read:not me
) could measure a Honda hub and use that measurement to scale against the rims in that pic to determine the size.
