Default 18" front wheel on rear? (2008 Touring)

Will an 18" front wheel from a 2008 Street Glide fit on the rear of a 2008 Road King as a straight swap?

I don't wanna mess around with spacers and whatnot.

I doubt it. Front wheels are drilled for 2 rotors, rear haS a rotar and a pully. I could be wrong though

I had heard the pulley and rotors share the same bolt pattern and thread size.

No, no provision for the cush drive pulley. Look up wheel pics and you'll see the difference.

Related question, can the front from the SC be swapped to the Ultra? If both are 08.

If the rears can be swapped. I would assume the front could?

The front is a whole different animal. Lots of years to choose from for front fitment. But to answer your question...Yes.
And I'm assuming you meant SG.
