Got my second pair of wheels today!!! Another friggen set of 10's!!! I'm super bummed, as I ordered two 10's and two 8's. It's been six weeks an I'm scared to death that its going to take another six and a bunch of hassle to get this corrected. The distributor has been stellar and I sent them an "nice" email explaining the situation and am hopeful that they'll be able to get it resolved quickly. Either way, I'm plucking the motor and clip so I can get busy again. Guess I'll have to wait until assembly to establish ride height.

Another thing to note is "backspace". I understood that to be referenced from the centerline. In other words, a 10" wheel with 5" backspace would be centered, or the center of the tire would line up with the face of the drum. That's not the case with these dudes. The "nominal" 10" wheel is actually 11" wide overall. The 4-1/2" advertised backspace is measured from the actual outside edge of the wheel. This means that there is 6-1/2" from the drum to the outside edge of the wheel, or a 2" offset! This is a bunch "wider" than the 1/2" per side I was expecting. My expected width wouldn't tuck anyways and I suppose they'll "calculate" backspace the same stupid way on the fronts too, so I'll end up about where I wanted, just friggen 3" wider overall. This is a cluster man!
