I dug a bit deeper as I want to go from my 49mm mid's to a 49mm wideglide while retaining my stock wheel on my 06 Dyna. (custom wheels are on the wish list)
Mid glides are 8.483" (215.468 mm) and the wideglide is 9.875" (250.825 mm)
That makes the wideglide front end 35.357 mm wider.
To keep wheel centered make spacers 17.678 mm wider than stock.
Fender spacers will be 17.678 mm
Caliper spacer will be 17.678 mm,
A wideglide axle will be required as well as longer bolts for the fender and caliper mounts.

Others have had iffy service from them, but mine was not too bad. Hard to beat the prices too.

You guys are forgetting the most important part and that is not how wide the C to C of the fork tubes are but what the c to c of rotors to C to C of brake calipers. That is the part you should be looking at. The hub you use needs to that the caliper mounts/calipers to match

OK, here it is. My 06 FXD with chromed out 49mm WG front end, 4" over, 3 deg raked bearing cups with 2 deg rake in the trees. We machined all the necessary spacers out of stainless and polished them. Calculated trail came in at 4.3". Bike looks great and handles great.
Have to get a chrome caliper...broke my bleeder screw.
Have the stainles mounting bolts as well for caliper. 14" chubby apes topped things off nicely.
