FXDC Tire mounting issue
I recently traded my fxd mags for a sext of Fxdc chrome spoked wheels.
I swapped over my Commander 2s to the new wheels and the rear seated without a problem. The front is another story. The tire almost looks seated... I can see more rim than I think I should and it's even all the way around on both sides
Does anyone else run these tires on these wheels? Is it normal?
I've tried letting them sit overnight at 80psi, with a tie down strap around the tire. I took it to the tire shop and they tried lubing the sides, pulling the stem and inflating it that way.
I'm all ears if anyone can help.

BTW - don't go over 40-50 PSI to seat them, you risk blowing out the tube (ask me how I know!) use plenty of soapy water or Windex, and let them sit in the sun. They're a b!tch but they'll pop

I talked to a guy at the dealership and he told me that the wheels spacers were the same for a 2008fxd and a 2010fxdc. Front rotor is different though.
