Default Will these rims fit??

Can someone tell me if these rims will fit my 05 Ultra Classic. The gentleman in customer service said they would but offered little other help. So just looking for some confirmation. http://www.ebay.com/itm/160768900421...ht_19512wt_955.

I don't think that 18 x 8.5 rear will fit, that seems pretty darn wide....

The 8.5 rear wheel is way to wide to fit

18x8.5 is way too wide for the rear. Front is not set up for dual rotors. Rear appears to have bolts on 1 side only. And I think your axles are 1". Need to find a different vendor, those guys don't know their product.
