I pressed over the bearings and ground down the caliper mount to center it. Probably not the best way to do it, but it worked. Just going to have issues if I ever change to a different front wheel. Spoke length was equal on both sides, so I'm assuming It has the wrong hub for my application.

^ Handles great!! I'm lowered about 3.5" in the front, so I'm at the same ride height as before the wheel swap. The bigger tire soaks up all the uneven road surfaces while cruising down the freeway. Parking lot maneuvering is the biggest difference, but got used to it my first couple rides.
