Default Wheel Swap?

How much hassle awaits me if I try to mount a solid Fatboy wheel and the rear of my '07 Heritage? I have heard a number of horror stories (spacer sizing, bearings, etc) from those that have done aftermarket wheel swaps.

What year Fatboy wheel? If it's 07 or newer, the swingarm is the same so you're probably looking at fender, pully, spacers, etc. Earlier than 07, maybe just spacers...

My 07 Fatboy has a stock 200mm rear tire.......I'm not sure the Heritage uses the same swing arm does it. The rear on that is 150?. What year is Fatboy wheel?

The seller claimed the Fatboy wheels are '98, with 3/4'' bearings.
