Default 2005 Wheel Swap

I know there are a lot of posts on this and I have read them. I have a 2005 CVO Electra Glide with stock 16” chrome front wheel. I have a line on a 19” chrome cvo wheel with rotors, and abs bearings and the brembo calipers. To swap this, do I need to switch out the bearings to non abs or can I use these bearings with correct axle. Additionally, do I need to secure a 25mm axle and 25 mm bearings for the swap or can I use my stock axle if I switch to non abs bearings and what size non abs bearings. Any help is appreciated.

Did you find answers? I’d like to pot a 2008+ 18” Street Glide wheel on my 2005 Ultra. What will I need?
