Default Fatboy wheels

my 01 fatboy currently still has the stock solid disc wheels. they are 16x3.5 i believe front and back. i want to order some spoke wheels or fat spoke wheels. my question is, is "Can i use the same spacers?" and all will be fine. easy swap of wheels. or am i going to run into fitment issues with the spacers. and i will be getting the same size wheels front and back. 16x3.5 thanks for any help.

well don't order 16x3.5 as I am sure they are 16x3.0 as I have a couple out in the garage. As for the spacers can only tell by hub width old to new.

My old Glide came on 16x3" wheels front and rear. I now have a 3.5" wide front rim and it's fine. You'll probably be using the same size tyre on both current and new wheels. Just make sure your new ones will fit, the supplier should be able to confirm that, especially if buying new.

Hey! Not sure if you bought them or not but we have some available. www.WanaRyd.com and your stock spacers will work with them! 16x3.5 and 16x3.0 run the same size tire.

You could also fit 18x3.5 with new tires if you wanted to.
