Default Street glide wheels on a road king?

I have a friend with a 04 Road king. He has found a set of 2011 street glide wheels. The front is a D4085 130/70 B18 and the rear is a D407 180/65 B16 M/C 81H. I know the rear tire is too wide but my question is.

1. Will these wheels bolt on without any mods.?
2. Will a 150 tire fit the rear rim and work on the bike?

I want to run the 16 rear 18 front wheels. Just wondering if i can make these work without a lot of mods.

The rear wheel is 5 inches wide. It will not work. The stock wheel is 3 inches, sorry. You could bolt the front on but not sure how the low profile front with the 85 aspect ratio rear would handle. Bad mismatch would be my guess. However, I see all kinds of large circumference wheels posted on here without problems. If you can get the front cheap enough, try it.

Isn't the axle a different size?

Front can be installed with a bearing change to fit the 1" 07 axle. Rear is not gonna work. I am running a 16 rear 18 front on my 08 Ultra and it handles great.

Default street glide rim

Put a street glide rim on the rear of my 2010 FLHRC. Bolted right on. Like the tubeless.
