Default Rear Sportster wheel on front?

I have an 03 883 I'm working on as a winter project and I want to run a wide front tire. It has the 13 spoke mag wheels on it and I was wondering if I could put a stock back wheel on the front without any major modifications. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

No. You would at least need to swap out your forks/trees to a wider set to fit a 130mm (your stock rear size) tire on the front.
