Default Wheel OEM Cross fitment

Any of you guys know if front wheels off 74-later Wide Glide fits will bolt up on FLSTSC Springers?.....

I've looked at most of the specs....it has same .75 axle....just would need the right spacers I'd think.....but wasn't sure...

Its also a single disc hub.......

Am I missing anything?

Springer wheels have an offset in the wheel, the hub is not in the center of the wheel...so on a "normal" wheel it is difficult to get the brake rotor to line up, and get the center line of the wheel where you need it. On a spoked wheel you can have it laced offset.

First....THANKS for the response .....

Ok....so offset is SPECIFIC to Springer wheel fit...
That's gonna basically limit my search ...but that's fine.
I may just have to buy a new wheel, springer ready.....
Was hoping I could take advantage of the used wheels I'm always finding...
