I am about to put a 17"x3" rim on a modified wide glide hub and run it with a 130/80 tire on my FXD.

Lacing and truing takes patience. Take some measurements before you take to cutting the spokes out of your existing wheel. Might want to have someone build your wheel using stainless steel spokes, like Landmark Mfg. Heck, have them make you a set, like they did for me on my FLHRI & FXD. I used the "diamond" pattern. They really flash in the sun...
Buchanon Spoke will do it also, but they've had QC issues as of late. Just FYI

I like the idea of stainless steel spokes, would Landmark be cheaper?
