Several people have done it in here. Find one you like that is made for a Softail, with the proper bearings and mount it up. The only issue I'm aware of is side clearance on the fender.

Get another rim and use your existing hub, bearings and spacers to guarantee no issues with alignments.
Here’s what I did, I know it’s for converting to a 19” but I also went to the width you’re looking for so should give you an idea.
