Hi,
Just purchased a new 2017 Road King this past weekend. But I wanted to replace the wheels with a set of Wire spoke wheels like on the Road King Classic. I found a set that in Craigslist that came off of a 2005 Road king. Will those rims fit? I don't know what size of wheels are on the 2017 or what sizes will work if I find a set or wire wheels. Can you guys help? What sizes will work on my 2017? Will previous year Road king Classic wheels work?

Thanks
Billy

 

LET ME GOOGLE THAT FOR YOU

 

The frame changed in 2009 came with wider rear for sure, not sure about the front. So no, the 05 wheels wont work

 

Tires, Front Specification BW 130/80B17 65H
Tires, Rear Specification BW 180/65B16 81H

 

I can offer up what I know. Spokes were an option in 2014 and are a direct swap to the 2017. Spokes will be 16" front and rear.

 

unless you got the 'profile' spoke wheels - then the front is a 17" just like the regular RK

 

My new 2014 road king came from the factory with optional laced wheels, with tubes and 16" front and back. I did not know there was another wheel option for a FLHR.

 

So, If I find a 2014 Road King with the White walls and wire laced wheels it will fit my 2017 Road king?

 

Yes,

I put cast wheels on my RK when I traded it in and kept the laced wheels for my 2017. I checked the internal spacer and bearings [ install kits ]and they are the same for 2017 touring bikes

 

Just be aware that if your '17 King has ABS and the '14 wheels came off a bike that didn't you will have to install ABS wheel bearings.
