Your Original Hub would be like the hub on Left ... While you new replacement wheel probably looks like the one on the Right

Take a good pic of the bearing face ... can you show the numbers?
How wide are the bearings? ... little over 9/16" or 13/16"?

Wrong Wheel ... too wide for your application
Why are you switching?

No Prob
So your original rim is OK ... Yeah, swap tires
After you re-install your original, make note of the pulley to swingarm clearance... you wouldn't be able to get another 1/2" in there
When you sell it ... list it as a 08-later 16x3 Softail Rear
By the style and color, it looks like it came from a 12-later Softail Slim
