Default Need front wheel changing help.

So replacing my stock 08 FXD cast wheel with a spoke wheel from an 07 street bob.
I've already made it a 21" and have a new tire on it (spent several hundred on this wheel already)
I had a 25mm bearing kit put in at the dealership. While trying to put the wheel on i find out the spacers are different from 07 to 08 as well.

08 spaces are the same length on both sides and have the same part number.
07 spacers are different lengths and cost about $20 more each.

Will 07 spacers work for me since i have a 25mm axle? if not, what do I do?
This is driving me insane!

the 07 spacers will fit easily over a 25mm axle

thanks brother! So the 07 spacers being 1" inner diameter on a 25mm axle wont hurt or affect anything?

My dealership said no dealers in ky or tennessee have the 07 spacers and the MOCO has them on backorder.

These are all i could find. A chrome replacment from colony usa on ebay

Assuming they are the right width, it won't matter - they don't locate the axle but I would still change them once they are available.

1" = 25.4mm

they only load on the outer edges.they are so close in size it wont matter.. actually I believe the inner wheel spacer only comes in 1 inch... my crossbones wheels were originally 25mm and the 1 inch axle fit right thru the inner spacer..
