Either will work....I have a 83 35' FC and I have 12R....but I do believe that the early FCs came from the factory with 11R....12R may give you a more cushie ride.

You need to verify the width of your wheels. Typically an 82 will have 7" wide. That won't get it for 12R.
I chose to upgrade to 24" wheels as my 83 had 7". The 11R 24.5 tires, Koni's on the front axle, Gabriels on the rear AND new bushings on the rear axle panard bar greatly improved the road manners of my FC. The panard bars are on both axles, they are mounted above and paralelle with the axle. The bars controll side movement of the body realative to the chassis. Bolts have been known to break and any bird with over 100k miles need's the rear bar inspected.
