Default Sportster wheel swap ????

I have a 2004 sportster and asked this question prior but came across a set of 2011 Wide Glide spoke wheels. 21 x 2.25 1inch bearing front and 17 x 5 back 1 inch bearing. Will these wheels fit my sportster? I know that or think that the bearings on my sportser are 3/4 but if I change out the bearings will they work? Prob have to change the spacers? Is this a hard job? I know anything is really possible but was just wanted to know how hard?

I have a 2004 Sporty also and I'd guess that theres not enough space between your forks to fit a wide glide wheel. I know because I made the mistake of ordering a wide glide wheel that I had to return. This was after I had installed my mid glide trees which are 1.5" wider than the stock narrow glide setup.
