Default road king with fatboy rims?

anyone know if the old style fatboy rims (not the .50 cal. ones) will fit on my 2003 road king? i know there is a differance in the ID of the bearings but besides that is will they fit right? or what years will work?

Aren't the fatboy fronts set up for a single disk? The only other thing I remember reading on another forum was something about the hub length? You already know about the bearings.

some of the fronts are set up for dual disk,they have a chrome cap you remove on the right side to access the holes for the rotor. i am more interested in the rear wheel like if it is the correct offset and is there a spacer between the rear bearings that needs to be changed?
