Default 84-99 softail wheels on an 09!

Why wont these wheels fit an 09! Looking at the spokes ultima came out with..

I have a buddy that swears they will fit with just some minimal spacing issue and possible bearing changes..

I am looking into these for my X-Bonz..Really wanting a 21" up front... Is he just blowing smoke or will they work..

I can get front and rear for the price of one so called CUSTOM wheel for the front...

The 84-99 fx type wheel is a 3/4 axle vs the 25mm on newer wheels. Second the 84-99 wheels is a wide hub not sure how wide the bones front end is. So, the three factors would axle size easy fix change out bearings. Hub width and rotor spacings. Best advise is find a wheel and mock it and go from there.

thanks joe sounds like a plan...I believe the bones is also 3/4 or 19mm bearings as well so im guessing the hub width is the real key here
