Heres the latest. He came up with a mag type wheel. Idk what it came off of. We did a mach fit. Axle hole size is same. Rotor bolts right on. Sprocket/ pulley bolts right on. The wheel is in center of fender. The only difference that I see is the raised up area of the wheel where the sprocket / pulley mounts is slightly smaller than the spoke wheel. There is 1/16" gap all around between inside of hole and sprocket/ pulley raised part of wheel. Thoughts?
