Why won't the IDS work with all wheels?

What about a wheel makes it incompatible with the IDS?

Howcan I tell if the IDS will work with any particular aftermarket wheel before I buy the wheel?

We made a 1998 wheel work. The one thing you need to look for is where the IDS meets the hub. Most HD hubs will need machined to clear the dished inside are aof the IDS. Most aftermarket wheels run a smaller hub. I could almost make any hub work. Will have to install correct bearings and inner spacers and check all clearences very closely.
