'11 Wide Glide wheels on a '10 Super Glide

'11 Wide Glide wheels on a '10 Super Glide?
I want spoke wheels with black rims on my 2010 Super Glide.
I found a set of stock wheels from a 2011 Wide Glide.
Will they bolt right on?
I really want a 17" in the front too instead of the 21". Did H-D make a 17" rim that looks like the rear of the Super Glide but is not as wide?

The Rear wheel is the same, so it fits... But the Front, no fitty
The wide glide hub is too wide for your mid-glide forks
HD only put 17" fronts on 07-later Fatboys (dunno for sure if spokes were an option) and 09-later "Touring" bikes and they are also too wide for your forks. I also don't think any came with black hoops.
You could probably have a 17" hoop laced to your mid-glide hub

Will the wider hub not work because of the brake rotor or the overall width at the axle?

The easiest way to get black rims would be to buy a set off a '09 or newer Street Bob. But they'll be the same diameter as stock (19" front, 17" rear).
Buying a black 21" rim and lacing it to your existing hub is going to be the only way to have a black 21" on the front, short of buying a custom made one. As already mentioned, a Wide Glide hub is different.
Lacing a wheel isn't that hard. I did a thread on it a couple years ago when I did mine.

Thanks for the info.

Is there any reason you couldn't lace a black 17" rear rim onto a front mid glide hub? Might be too wide? I can't think of a stock bike that had a 17" laced front wheel in black.
I would guess you could probably fit a rear rim through a set of Wide Glide trees, and you conveniently already have a Wide Glide hub...

The Fat Bob has a 16" on the front and rear. That is the look I'm going for but in 17".
I basically want the biggest dual sport tire I can find on the rear of this bike. They seem to max out at 180 wide on a 17".
