Default 2011 FLTRX wheels on a FLTRU

I am new to the forum and finally have a question. I want to replace my FLTRU 28 spoke wheels with the FLTRX 5-spoke black cast wheels but the specs show the FLTRX front wheel is an 18" with a lower profile 130/70 R18 tire versus the FLtRu 17" 130/80 R17. Any clearance or handling issues with these wheels on the FLTRU?

Default None, unless....

...you need to make sure that the wheels you get in trade have the ABS bearings.
Other than that, that's it!
Good luck!
