I have had no luck finding wide front wheels for 16 Low Rider. Need 17x3.5 (preferable) or 16x3.5. A take off of certain models, such as the fab bob would be interesting, but my FXDL uses two front rotors and mid-glide front end. Aftermarket pushes 21" front wheels, never wide stuff. Anybody else have info to offer? Best.
Try looking on ebay for FLH wheels. Or search for used Harley Street Glide wheels. FLH's have dual rotors.
I think FLH front ends are wider than the mid-glide Dyna.
Factory spoke mid-glide wheels can have a rotor mounted on either side, but not all aftermarket ones will. A Street Bob/Super Glide Custom take - off spoked wheel would work, even though they only came with 1 rotor from the factory.

But do the SG wheels fit? For example what are the center to center measurement on the front rotors? I need information verifying what we are thinking so that I don't wind up with stuff that I can't use. Everything on Ebay says that it won't fit my bike; doesn't say why, just that it doesn't fit. No help there.

Own both LRS and SG, dont waste time on FLH wheels.... Wont fit and not right sizing for what you're asking.
Here's a 16 X 3.5 FLH wheel on my FXDF. Can be done, but not for most home mechanics...I started by measuring outside to outside on brake rotors to see if it could fit and if not, how close it was. Then it's custom spacers and some hub machining, ensuring rotors are perfectly aligned with calipers AND wheel is centered. I have access to that kind of help otherwise hourly shop fees will apply $$$

Keep in mind the Fat Bob has a wide-glide width front end and the OP's Low Rider has a mid-glide front end, adding even more cost to the conversion.
