I was going to do it.going to Try to put a 2012 18 glide wheel on my 98 ultra(3/4 axle) so i was going to just make and axle and spacers. We will see. Should start this weekend.
The only thing I don't understand is the spacers on the 2007 & older are different lenghts from left to right and on the 2008 & newer use the same spacer on each side. Is the off set built into the wheel ?
Hi from the UK and welcome to HDF. In 08 Harley introduced a different design of drive pulley, with integral rubber shock absorber. I doubt if the change of spacer length has anything to do with offset in the wheel, but a more bulky pulley.

I am referring to the front 18" wheel swap that this thred started as.

I guess the difference is set by the axle , because otherwise if the math does not add up.

Yes, the offset is built into the wheel. I just did the swap on mine the other day.
