     Had a renegade front wheel fitted to my 2007 softail FXST and it now seems to have allighnment issues is it rectified with axle spacers or do you 

    have to shim out the disc calliper and help would be appreciated seems to be offset and rubbing on the rotor.

     G day Hilly the rim was for that model and axle size the spacers are the stock ones and they are on the rite way all inoticed is tonight front brake 

    pads fairly worn and has pushed the pistons out  causing it to rub a fair bit ,

    only other thing i found out is the 07 had a off set due to fat 200 rear tyre may be the renegade rim is to true whe its allighned but i have never 

    noticed the outer brake pad push in that far hope that will help.

     ALL good now had to shim calliper slightly to line disc in the centre of brake pads just be warey when fitting aftermarket rims that all your measurments are true before riding otherwise you will end up with a score brake disc and pads or possible front end failure not good .

    happy now of for a ride .
