Default rear wheel question

Is the hub from a 18 inch wide glide rear wheel the same hub on a 17 inch super glide wheel?

What year bikes? The wide glide should have a 17" factory rear wheel. Most likely the same hub though, they use the same spacers.

Nope, most definitely a 17" stock wheel on a Wide Glide rear.
