Default Older Fatboy wheels on a '15 Slim

Hey guys, been awhile since I've visited the forums and I've purchased another bike...a 2015 Slim, while I can't leave it alone since it's still cold here in the north I was wondering if anyone knew the hub sizes of older fatboy wheels, say around 2005? Could these wheels and tires fit on the slim? I know a 150 mm tire will fit the rear of a slim with no mods, but if the hubs are different sizes I could run into issues...if anyone has any clue I'd appreciate it.

Axles and bearings will be the biggest issue I think.

Cool

similar thinking here, the wheel for the rear would need to be a pre 2006 with an install kit for the 25mm axle not sure on what spacers would be needed. Thinking also going fat boy rear and slotted front both blacked out, really wish a cast wheel similar to what's available for the dynas worked for a slim?
