Need Help, 02 Ultra front wheel swap

You would need to change the bearings in the new wheel to the 1 inch that the 02 uses for starters. The brake rotors would be the other issue. Unless you have upgraded to the 11.8" and Brembo brakes of the 08 and up, the rotors on the new wheel will not fit. Depending on the mounting of the rotors you may be able to swap your 02 rotors to the 09 wheels.

Looks like the rotors may swap out.

Yes, the rotors will swap. Using the 1" bearings will require outer spacers .780" wide.
