Are the older evo rims the same from touring to softail? I am looking at a set of rims and tires for my bike and found a deal on a set but it says 88-99 tapered bearing softail ....

Evo front touring have provisions for 2 rotors and softails have one rotor, not 100% sure on the rears but I believe they cross

Not going to be a direct bolt-in....front or rear. If you look at custom wheel sites...touring bikes take a different hub than softail bikes in the rear...some touring bikes of that era used a weird brake rotor on the rear...

The tapered bearings are correct for your bike, but otherwise the comments above apply. There is greater interchangeability with later ball race wheels.

The front rim I am looking at is the "King Spoke" dual disc 21x3.5 . I had some DNA rims on my 2007 street glide and really liked them.

This the info your looking for.

edit, reread the op, all i can find is it says for wideglide fronts, so still not sure for touring bikes,
if the rotor widths are correct, should be able to make it work.
