Default LS7 Main Wheel / Landing Gear question

After removing the main wheel of my LS7 to service the brake pads/drum and then

replacing the wheel, bushing and right-side spacer, I noticed that the tire is

not exactly centered between the two landing gear forks, but is shifted about

1/4 inch to the right side, away from the side with the brake lever. The tire

also seems to be slightly off-center relative to the CG tow hook. Also, the tire

barely clears two inwardly-facing bolts attached to the right side landing gear fork.



I didn't notice any off-center arrangement before I removed the wheel, but I

probably wasn't looking at it that carefully. It may have been there all along -- wish I took photos.



Does anyone know if this is normal/acceptable, or cause for concern?



Thanks,



Jordan


Check the spacers that slide over axle, usually one wide, one slim.............bet you got them reversed.
