Sorry, don't have an answer to you, but also interested in doing the swap at some point. Plus, do you have a longer swingarm? From what bike is it?

I put '78 400 spoke wheels on my '82 and there's nothing to trip you up; you DO need to have the whole wheel with sprocket carrier and brake backing plate as the wheel hub is different which requires the corresponding parts. IOW, the whole shebang drops right in but the parts aren't interchangeable. Same axle.
There's a lot of cross compatibility with older bikes like the GT 380 and such, but you need to look at the specific bike.
I'm running an 18" front on a T which had a 19". It steers a bit quicker that way, and I don't think they altered the geometry between the Es and the Ts but the Ls are a different frame.
