Yes. The only thing he may have to do is change wheel spacers. I have a 21 on mine and it fits fine.

An 18" will fit fine as will a 19". Some people have even put a 21" without changing the fender, but I would not do that. On an 04 Heritage you need 3/4" bearings in the wheel. If you want some prices we sell all kinds of wheels at great prices. Pm and I will get back to you asap.
