Default What spacers are requirred to mount FatBoy Rims to a 1979 FLH Frame.

I have a set of early Fat Boy Rims that I wish to mount to a 1979 FLH Frame. I've seen ity done on many builds. What is requirred to do this? Do i run the same bearings or swap out for sealed units?
Do i keep the same axle or change it out?
What Spacers are reqirred to do this?

Fat Boy EVO works for sure, same axle diameter and tire size
SOME TC are wider and bigger axle, but not sure what years
About spacers I am not sure.. I believe wheel hub width is the same so your spacers might work... you might need to get the wheel in there and measure.
Maybe somebody else has better info
