Want to put 20" 2x2.125 tires on my lowrider bike. Can't find any besides BMX 34 spokes and they dont come in white wall and of course i gotta have the white walls. So my next question is a friend told me that if i put 2x2.125 on a 1.75 wheel the sidewall will buckle from the weight for us larger bastards. Is there a custom shop that pushes these babies out and im just missin it? Or is my friend *** and you really can but 2x2.125's on a 1.75 wheel?

Your friend gave you correct advice. However, there are many factors and variables to consider. One of which you have already mentioned, being your weight. 
You [b]can[/b] put the 2 x 2.125 on a 1.75
If you intend to ride this bike often on variable road conditions and speeds and turns, you may have problems later.
