Arrow fat bob 21 inch wheels possible? Help needed

Trying to change the look of my fat bob. Want to find a cheap route for spoke wheels. Would I be able to use street bob or any other dyna wheels without modifications to fit on my fat bob? At least the front wheels. Wanted to go with a 21 inch wheels or at least 18+ inches.

Opinions and information needed from you guys.

On the fender side, looking into the the voodoo dyna fender

This is the look I want to go for the wheels but smaller fronts:

Not sure about on the cheap.Besides,60 or 80 count on the spokes looks better than the 40 from HD I think.Save your $ and go with a good wheel.I choose to keep the wheel size symmetrical.It's a Fat Bob, not the other "Bob"

sounds like you should get a street bob and start there. You could probably sell/buy a similar year SB and have some money left to do the mods. Worth thinking about...

That would be my choice at first but in Brasil the Street Bob is not available. So I bought the fat. We do have the softail blackline that would be another option but to sell mine and get a new blackline would be around $3k at least. Plus I don't think my V&H works on the softail so rather mod my bike for now. I'm getting the fender from Rocket Bobs and wheels would be next on the list. I could go with a 18" setup as well. Maybe do only the front wheels and leave the rear alone. Would look awkward? Night train used to be like that...

Same trees (other than the rake difference..)on the front so a take off wide glide wheel and the spacers and it should bolt right up. You may run in to issue if you want to keep the dual calipers though...Not sure on the rear...
