Softail wheels ?

Will a set of 2007 softail wheels fit a 2003 softail (fatboy) ?
I know both front and rear are 16" but are the axels and spacing the same?

Thanks in advanced!

Not 100% but, I believe the 07 had a wider rear wheel than the 03, so fit wise, probably not.

You might want to post this in the Softail section of the forum.

What I do when I'm looking for fitment references is I find the part that fits my application.
Then I find the donor part and compare the part numbers.
If the parts numbers are the same then they are compatible.

More specifically to you question:
Go to the Harley site and look up a replacement wheel for a 2003 Fatboy.
Then under the "Fitment" tab see if the 2007 donor bike is listed.
If it's listed then the wheel from the 2007 donor bike will fit the 2003.
