Default DNA mammoth rim help

Hey all I've just received my DNA rims and started to install and found that on the front if I were line the rotor up to the caliper I actually have interference between caliper and rim so it looks like the rotor needs a spacer ... Has anyone else had this problem or is there a DNA piece that I'm missing? Btw it's a 08 night train. Thanks

When you line the rotor up with the caliper, where is the rim? Is it centered up?

Are you using an '08 rim to an '08 front end? or at least the correct range of years

When I put my re-chromed front wheel back on, the caliper was really snug to the rim when I was pushing it back onto the rotor. I thought I was going to screw up the new chrome on the wheel.
The advantage I had was I took it apart , so I knew it was a really tight fit when I tried to pull the caliper off the rotor it was wedged against the rim.

Good luck,
Tom
