Default 2008 Heritage wheels work on a 2014 Slim???

Putting my 2014 Slim back together after a mishap & I am replacing the front wheel.(16") I would like to go with a chrome wheel vs the OEM black wheel. I have the chance to buy a good set of chrome 16" wheels from a 2008 Heritage Classic.Will these work on my 2014 Slim?
I have ABS,so,I want to make sure I'm not gonna run into any problems dealing with that.

To be sure of fitment you would need to measure depth of the hub recess that the wider ABS bearing would pressed into. When I put '08 Fat Boy wheels on my '07 Dyna I had to keep the 1in bearing on back for axle and disc brake fit. The 1in bearing is wider that the 25mm bearing so the bearings stuck out a little from the hub. That required custom cut spacers.
I do have a set of 20016 wheels off my Deluxe that were replace with CVO wheels. ABS bearings are still in them. I can get the white walls off them and have them ready to sell.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if the bearings were different,or,not & if so,in what way.
What are you looking to get for the wheels & pics,if possible?
Still waiting for my insurance adjuster to get back with me on a supplemental claim as, after tearing front end down,i found the wheel & other fork was damaged.Initial claim only included 1 fork & no wheel.Hopefully,it won't be a big deal.

From what I can gather,the Softail didn't have ABS until 2011 model year.Looking at them,I would think the chrome 16" wheels from a 2011/up Softail Deluxe,or,Heritage should be a direct swap with my 2014 Slim.Local Harley parts dept won't confirm,or,deny this,due to liability concerns.

I figured you'd have more wheel opinions by now. My wheels have 1000 miles on them. I 'll take some pics and get the posted in the items for sale section. I haven't done any research on them yet to know a selling price.

From what i'm understanding, I should be able to use wheels from an 08/up bike as long as I use the correct ABS bearing.
I was looking at a set last nite at J&P that said they worked for a 2008 to 2015 Heritage Classic, but, would not work on my Slim.I asked their Tech dept why it wouldn't work.I was told because of the ABS & bearing size.I'm pretty sure the Heritage has ABS & 25 mm axles???
