Default Question for the Experts

Hey All
I have an 06 Night Train. I saw an add for a set of custom wheels with measurements of: Used custom billet Harley wheels rear 250\18. Front 120/21....3/4 fr axel ......1". I'm just wondering if they would fit the Train. They were off a custom bike. Anybody? Sorry not an expert on this and before I lay a bunch of money down, I would like to be positive.
Cheers!

A 250 tire is not going to fit the rear of your bike without major modifications.

Those are tire measurements, so you can't know how wide the rims are. A 250mm or even a 260 tire (depending on brand) can fit on a 8"- 9 1/2" rim. I don't know what rim the Night Train can handle, I think stock was 17"x 6" or 6.5" ??
