Yes, the front wheel is an 18".
I know it should be a 19... but, the 18 works

The paint looks like a repo Set $1200? Seeing that is an LTD front fender. Use that or sell it. Buy some old rusted fender and cut it down, buy a rusted rear cheap also. Then paint to match body!
I looked at this fender for 10 years, stock. Then I just drilled holes to lower it. Going to cut off the extra, weld in some material to make it look good.
I wish I had an 18" now. But my 19" was done many years ago also with Buch. SS spokes and a nice ring. I put a low 90/90 tire on it
Then Paint as close to that nice OEM Blue paint. I always was a chrome fender painter.
Just my opinion!
Livin in "CheektaVegas, NY
Went thru 25 of these in 40 yrs.
I SOLD OUT! THE KAW BARN IS EMPTY.
