Smaller rim size

I found a set of rims for a 2000-2005 dyna that I really like. The only problem is I own a 2012 dyna. My rims are a 19 in the front and 17 in the rear. These are a 19 in the front and a 16 in the rear. If I get these how bad will it mess up my bike? Will it mess with the speedometer or anything? Also besides new tires what would I need to do? Thanks

What makes you think these will fit your bike? Pretty sure the axle sizes are different. Why make unnecessary modifications?

Thats what I'm trying to figure out of there will be lots of mods that I dont want to do. These are used and a very good price. It maybe cheaper to buy ones for my model year

After a headache trying to use 08 hubs on my 07 I would recommend against that. You'll need new bearings and sleeves and probably have to get or fab new spacers. I ended up delacing my wheel and using my stock 07 hub on for the new one.
