Default Wheel compatibility question

Anyone know if the factory wheels off a 2015 Touring HD will fit a 2012 Touring model? I don't see a discernible difference but I'm not completely sure.

I put 2022 FLTRXSE wheels on my 2012 FLTRXSE. Bolted right on. Had to raise the front fender going to a 21" up front.

Thanks that helps. The rims are actually the same size, 17" on the front the 16" on the rear. Everything I've read so far says the axles are the same size as well. Can't imagine HD changed a whole bunch between '12 and '15 but I'm new to these bikes so I don't want to make any assumptions.

Go to any Harley accessory book and look up wheels for your bike. It will give you a range of years that they will fit, it both bikes are in that range, you are all good. Could also check part #'s on the HD website Parts Finder, good luck.
