Without changing anything you're pretty much stuck with what you have.Even a 150 will have clearance issues.

Most 150's are 6" +-..
140's are 5.55" +-..
Your 130 is (if that's what you have) is 5.12 +-..

You might think about a 140 if the 150 is too wide..
I realize it's not what you wanna hear but remember this,, the wider the tire the less handling..

I have a 2007 Street Glide with a 160mm on the back with no probems at all. lots of room.
Rim; Renegade Monterey 18X4.25
Tire; Metzeler ME880 160/60VR18

I had the chrome billet pulley on but have bought the stock IDS to get ride of that terrible chatter. Thats another thread all together.
