Default anyone with a 08 who....

Anyone with a 08 that change the front rim to a 2010?

I own a 2008 Street Glide and just bought a 2010 Street Glide wheel wondering if anyone has done this? If so did you lower the front end? The 2010 wheel is a 18in and the stock 08 rim is a 16.

If you could let me know I would greatly appreciate it!


Thaanks!

RJ

No lowering. Just bolt on and ride.

It's a direct bolt on, as long as it's ABS to ABS. If you have ABS and the 2010 wheel you brought isn't, all you have to do is buy a ABS bearing. I did it last year..IMO it's a better look.

The 18" tire is the same height as the 16" only the wheel is different. It is a direct bolt on, depending on ABS bearing or not. Heres my 08 SG.
