Wheel Advice

Whats up everybody I am new to the forums. I have a 1995 FXSTC w/ some bolt-ons under way (big sucker stageII, Accel single fire super system, Andrews EV46 cam, DynoJet Thunderslide w/ jetkit). I am about make the move to the 200mm tire, probably using the Doherty kit and and a strutless fender. My question is about wheels and hubs. What is the difference between 00-06 hubs and 99 and earlier hubs? Most all of the non-wire wheels I am finding on Ebay for decent prices are for 00-06. Would it be hard to fit these wheels to my softail? Also, would I retain the stock hub size for this Doherty kit since I am using the stock swing arm? Not very knowledgeable about wheel assembly overall...could figure it out but I'm in Iraq and I can't find any good diagrams/visuals to learn from.

The 99 and earlier hubs have timken bearings...the 00-06 hubs are sealed bearings.

Most of your 00-up wheels also carry 25mmID bearings, that will not fit your 3/4"OD axle.

'00 to '06 had 3/4 axels, 25mm started in '07 I believe
The rear is an easy change, just make sure you match the bearing size to the axel that comes with the kit.
You will have to figure out you spacers, but it is no big deal.
I did this conversion on my 87 and it only took a little longer than a regular wheel swap.
