Default RE: Low rider Front wheel conversion

It says:
The 2006 FXDWGI Dyna Wide Glide is longer than ever,
with a new 49mm fork raked out to 36 degrees and
a 21-inch steel laced front wheel
Then it says in the specs:
Rake and Trail: 34.0 degrees / 5.1 in.
So if my math is correct this would be 2 degrees in the trees
for 2006 FXDWG

Default 21 front on fxdl.

There IS a 21 front rim compete setup that is made by v twin manufacturing sold on jp that will swap right in a mid glide fork, But it's like 500 dollars. The thing Is that the HUB on all these 21s you find is too wide to fit in the mid glide forks! The rotor would be like a full inch off.
So people say get the wide glide forks, which spreads your fork tubes aswell as a slight rake, and then you can fit any of, or most of those 21 rims. Most all of the hubs are lige 5.5 -6.5 inches wide or some ****, Where the stock mid glide hub is an even 5. Which is where your rotor is going to bolt to, in order to line up with rotor. Its kind of simple actually, you've got 3 choices, buy the high dollar 40 spoke replica spoke wheel that fits mid glide for roughly 500 bucks, or, convert to bigger/wider fork stance w fxdwg trees or fat bob trees and buy a wide glide front wheel, or, Buy 21 spokes and a 21 rim and relace the stock hub. That's what I'm doing atleast. Then I'll true it or have someone true it and slap my tire and tube on it. 90/90-21* I'll post pics when its done if yall want. I legit went thru the whole song and dance and thread binging and researching looking for the answers... lol
