Question '08 Dyna Super Glide front end

Hey Guys,
Long time reader, first time writer...
I would really appreciate some input, direction, or know how of changing out the front tire of a 2008 Super glide with the stock front end to maybe the tire size and or fork setup of a 2013 / 14 HD 48. I'm not looking for a larger diameter though. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks fella's

I haven't done that but have something similar (superlow rims) in mind for my 06 bob. those 48 forks, superlow forks and our dyna forks are both considered mid-glide. they have exactly the same center to center distance between the fork tubes. and the disc bolt pattern on the 48 hub is the same as on the spoked street bob hubs so that 48 wheel should be almost a bolt on? axle?

can't help you with swapping the whole 48 front end though. maybe head down to the dealer with a tape measure and compare stem lengths and bearing numbers, etc.

Thanks Snatchcat. I might have to do just that. I am hoping someone else has already done something like this. And could give some reference and pointers.
Thanks again
