Default 2007 Fatboy chrome wheels?

Has anyone bought chromed wheels for a fatboy?I bought a pair for my 2oo7 and had to remove the bearings from the old wheels to get the sleeves out for the newly chromrd wheels,the back replace ment went ok but after I removed the front bearings I noticed that the sleeve that fits beteween the bearings is about 1/4" longer than the walls the bearings sit against in the wheel?anyone see this before,its the same in both wheels,problem now is i never expected this and dont no which bearing if any should sit against the wheel wall,could anyone tell me how far the bearings sit into the wheel on a stock 2007 fatboy wheel in mm please so I can get this bike back together and keep the wheels in line?
thanx
John
