Will wheels from a 2018 spyder fit a 2009?

They will, but the fronts are 15" as compared to your 14". If you were planning to swap tires the fronts will not fit. Rear is the same size.

Well, they'll fit straight onto the hubs, but the fenders might need a little bit of spacing (3 fat washers?? ) to allow them to clear the tire/sidewall.

The 'old style' fenders with the support rib inside the wheel well did end up on some of the 2013 & on Spyders with 15" rims & tires, so they DO fit both if you try; and I believe there was also a minor offset change between the 14" rims & 15's too, simply to allow the 15" rims to clear the bigger Brembo brakes. Still, when it really counts, while you might hafta fiddle around a little bit with spacers, you can fairly easily fit the newer 15" rims onto the pre-2013 Spyders that came out with 14" rims up front originally. Quite a few have done so!

Wasn't there some discussion in the past about how using a larger diameter tire on the front might affect speedo readings and Nanny's control of the bike?

Not if you keep the ratio close. Look for total tire diameter when comparing tires. Since the speedo reads from the rear wheel it's not as sensitive to the front tires. I have had no issues going from the stock 50 to the 65 I am running on my 2020 RT(205/65R15) on my rear.

There are speed sensors on all three wheels that feed into the Vehicle Control Module. We don't know what the interaction is among the three when it comes to supplying a speedo signal to the cluster and what the tolerance is for variations among them. But we do know that the VCM compares all three constantly because that is what kills cruise control when a tire starts sliding. The VCM communicates with the cluster, including speedo reading, via the CanBus.

.... but I would use TOTAL tire circumference as the better measure ..... and this swap has been done successfully many, many times already ... I have not heard of any NANNY issues from any who have done this swap .... I would stay with the smallest aspect ratio on the new 15 in. tires ......jmho .... Mike
