Default need some help!

hey all. I have a 2003 fatboy. when I bought it a few years ago it had this crappy spoke wheel in the back. I have hard bags so I wanted to swap it for a fatboy solid. Today I did the swap and it went bad. first i discovered a spacer was cracked in half, then I discovered the spoke wheel was off a evo with the timken bearings so now I dont have the correct spacers. my question is how many spacers does this thing need? any idea what sizes? my local dealer was know help he said bring them in we can match them up. He couldnt grasp the concept of I dont have the right ones thats why I am calling lol. also for the guys with a stock 150 tire how tight is it in the fender?
Thanks Wils

According to my '04 standard, you will need 2 spacers. Approx. 1/2 on brake side, 1 13/16 belt side. You're idiot dealer should have the info/parts you need at hand. This is a stock set-up you're trying to put together. Sheesh.

With a 150 you will have 1/4 inch clearance to the tire. You will have to reverse the bolts on the fender so the bolt head will clear the tire. I'm assuming yours came with a 130 tire...
