Question 18" Wheel Question

Hey Everyone. Was told by other manufacturers that I can put 18" wheels on my 06 Fatboy. I can put up to a 3.50" in front and a 4.25" in rear max with no mods. That's exactly what I want to put on. My question is will I be able to put the 18" Chrome Stinger Wheels from H.D. on my bike? The accessory catalog says it will only fit 08' and up. Any help will be appreciated on this..Thanks to all...

You can do anything, at least that's what my mom used to say.

Probably, the problem would be the bearings, and the spacer. Not sure how HD does it ( I know they try to make things hard) but the wheel might be machined to be used with no spacers and line up perfect on the bikes they fit

You can definitely run 18x3.5 wheels. That's what I'm running. Not sure about the HD wheels. Here is my 06 Fatboy...
