Wheel choice help.....
I have a 1985 Low Rider FXSB (stock trees/tubes and swing arm). I am giving it a face lift and I want to go with 16 inch touring wheels front and back. From the research I've done, it appears that I can use wheels from 84-99 models and they will fit. Is this correct?
I am also going to be swapping out the narrow glide front end with a dual disc wide glide set up.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Its late and I read the title as "weed choice"...I was gonna say Mexican...but now I have woken up, yes, you can use any wheel that takes taper-roller bearings and they did between the years you indicated :-)

the domestically grown bud has come a long way in the recent few years especially with the decriminilization in many states. Not that I partake but I have heard from people. The infamous Them...

Back to your question, yes that should work. You want wheels with tapered roller bearings, which on the touring bikes were replaced with ball races around 2000.
Take a close look at this , before you buy anything. The touring bikes use a large thick rear rotor and a bigger caliper than is stock on your bike, which may bolt right up.
