Default Stock cast 08 wheels on 02 Road King Classic

Found a set of 08 OEM cast wheels on Craigslist for cheap, and was thinking of picking them up and installing them on my 02 RK Classic so that I can get rid of the tubes in the tires. I know that I'll have to replace the bearings but besides that will they fit? I know that the '08 rear tire is a 140mm and my '02 is a 130mm but are the wheels the same size?

Thanks for the help.

Ok, called HogPro and from what they said Harley used 16x3 wheels from 00-08. As for bearings: 00-07 used 1" axle bearings while 08 used 25mm, therefore if I get the 08 wheels I can simply swap out the bearings for 1" and I'm all good.
