It almost sounds like whoever did the chroming got it on way to thick, if they aren't used to doing motorcycle parts they can really screw things up, good luck.
I made sure they were compressed and i was thinkin the same thing that it might be build up but i ordered a spacer kit so im hoping that helps

Yes, as I said earlier, you can shift the wheel by adding and then subtracting from spacer widths.

If you want to get an idea on what it will look like ... Remove your Right Spacer and move your wheel over approx .150-.160"



There's another cheaper New and Correct Set on there now, if you return what you have
