ok this might paint a better picture......

1. the axle width in between the swing-arms is 10.5
2. the hub width is 7.5
3. there is about 2.5 offset from where the spokes are on the pulley side and a 1.25 on the right with the brake rotor
4. also the brake caliper bracket is 1.25

what i need to figure out is where to center the wheel and what spacers to use on the left side and on the right in between the rotor and brake caliper bracket.... now the middle of the axle would be 5.25 and the middle of the hub would be 3.625...... so you would assume that's where both centers need to line up and then you would simple measure the space on either side fab spacers to fit and be happy.......


however if ya that leaves very little room on the left ive seen a thread where they milled down the brake cailper bracket 5mm and sacrificed a goat or something and everything was good im just lost
