I second that about the DNA are plug, measure, double check....
I had a hell of a time with my DNA front wheel.
Go with what they said before, use 3/4" pvc pipe and make your own spacers till you get the proper spacing (belt lined up and caliper / rotor line up) then measure what you got and order the chrome spacers needed (Drag sells them for $9.95 each)
Although DNA is a lot of work on the install, the price is right.

Thanks fellas. I'll post pics as soon as I can.
From what I've gathered so far, my front axles are 25mm and the rear is 3/4. I spoke with a local wheel builder and he suggested I use a factory width hub on the next go around. Can anyone confirm the hub size for the 07 NT?

I guess there's many ways to skin this cat. I am stuck with the wheel.
1) I can have the wheel re-laced to the factory hub (once I find out the proper size, of course) but that may cost more coin than getting another.
2) We did look at getting some type of off-set kit to allow it to fit but it was uncertain. I may just be spending $$$ for nothing. We'd have to do more homework.
3) Buy a new wheel? Ouch... this may be the option.
I'll keep brainstorming and reading about options until I figure out the best and most cost efficient option for me.

This issue seems to be consistantly happening when doing DNA's on an 07.
You may wanna do a search. I swear the last guy with this issue was able to space it correctly and rock.
Then there was another dude who could not.
Both were 07's.
That sucks.

Ya bro, I've been told the same. I'm going to do some homework and see how this works out.
