2003 Fatboy wheels on 2002 FXST
I have searched and there are similar threads but nothing I could find specific to this. I have a friend who is going to give me a good deal on her stock 2003 Fatboy wheels.
Sounds like the front wheel swap is pretty straight forward, change the fender, add spacers to movethe brake, and maybe a wheel spacer difference. I have found out from searching here that the 2003 went to a different offset rear wheel on the Fatboy. Will this be as straight forward as the front? And with this rear wheel can I run a 150? Does the offset help run a wider tire?
Just want to make sure that the 2003 Fatboy wheels are going to work, and if they are any better/wrose than an earlier Fatboy wheel.
Thanks in advance!

I *believe* this should be a straight bolt-on. As far as I know, there was no wheel change until the 200 tire. As far as a 150, no problem. It'll fit the wheel fine, and (barring any wierd stuff) will clear everything (belt, swing arm, etc.) with room to spare.
