I don't what size your axles are, but make sure you get bearing that are the same size. Other than that it should be a pretty straight forward swap as long as you get a wheel with the same size hub. I don't know what the front fender looks like on a nostalgia, but make sure the wheel fits under the fender without rubbing. If it is the same as a heritage fender it will fir, if it is a different fender it might now.

Fender will be fine in that case. Just do a little reach on bearings and such. From most of what I read the wheels come in 3 year ranges. 1986-1999, 2000-2006, and 2007 and up. If I remember correctly, I actually think the bearings are the same diameter on the pre 2000 softails, it is just timkin bearings as opposed to sealed. What kind of wheel are you looking for?
