Question Wheel Help!!!

Hi all, Searching to purchase chrome wheels for my 06 Fatboy. I'm new to all this about fitments and some reasoning about what will and will not fit my bike. For instance: Why is it that the 18 inch Stinger wheel which I'm interested in from H.D. will only fit certain year fatboys? After market ones are twice the money in the same style. I keep wondering why it cannot fit my 06 Fatboy. Is there any way shape or form to get these wheels to fit? Different axle or bearings? To some, this is probably a stupid question (sorry) but still learning. Clueless but thank you anyway.

Most probably different axle diameter.
