So you use the stock pulley spacer in addition to one provided to fit the DNA? Wonder if thats the same... Putting this 3/8" spacer in addition to stock one. Confusing because DNA says no spacer at all on the 08.

So........ nothing was wrong with the wheel. The friggin pulley was backwards!! Just incase someone else with an 08 goes with Mammoth wheels a 1/4" spacer, which was originally supplied with the wheels worked out great.

When I installed mine, the seller told me I had to have the 1/2" spacer that went between the pulley and the wheel hub. And then I still used the standard size axle spacers.

Glad you worked it out and figured out what the issue was.

It was the Service writer. I went and got a new spacer and that didnt work and the technician didnt even think of the offset on the pulley. They called me told me the bigger spacer didnt even work and that he was going to have the tech bring the wheel into the office so he can look since it would have required a massive spacer... needless to say he called 2hrs later letting me know its done and ready to be picked up. When I got there and he told me what it was we were all shocked that nobody thought to even check which direction the pulley mounted. *duh* Yeah here is the latest pic. Havent gotten a chance to ride since I am still settling into the new place.
