I am looking at replacing the rear wheel, not the tire but the nasty, uncleanable rear rim. Couple of questions ...

1. Can I use a softail wheel on the Deuce.... ( yes, the Deuce is a Softail, but is the axle the same, are the bearings the same)

2. What is in the wheel installation kit? (spacers, etc)

3. Since the Deuce has a 17" x 4.5" wheel, can I opt for maybe an 18" or maybe a wider rim?

4. I am looking for something like smoothie rim..

My 2001 Deuce is lowered in the rear almost 2" through the shocks and rides nicely, just want something different!!!
I know someone will say " Just get the Chrome Deuce wheel", I like the solid wheel look but have lost the love for the OEM!!

Any suggestions, opinions or info would be appreicated

 

18.5 will work put new pully on and go with a 200,hogpro has the wheel u r looking for,was going to put new wheels on mine but,put on new back fender and paint......9.5in fatboy fender kooll bike is lowered 2" front&rear.

Get an 18X5.5 with a 180 tire and you will be golden.
