In my opinion there's nothing wrong with wide fenders on a GL, I'm personally partial to kafer cup fenders but as wide as those are would shouldn't have any problem stuffing 18's under the rear, no as for the front a narrow beam will probably be in order unless your front fenders are wide too I can't tell. I just like 17's better because I can get a little more sidewall height for these ruff roads on Mississippi.

Et 55 and, how wide of a front tire do you want to Run.
but I would do take 2-3" off the Beam or go with Wide frenders.
