According to www.harley-davidson.com > parts > shop oem service parts,
both the 2002 Deuce and the 2005 Deuce came with the same rear wheel i.e. 17x4.5 cast silver, part number 41074-00.

Hopefully on the 16" you still have/using the OE Pulley and Sealing Ring. You need to use that sealing ring with those deuce wheels to prevent water intrusion
