I recently put on a 250/40/18 rear tire. Nothing else has been changed except for the fact the rear end is slammed on progressive 422 shocks. The rear tire is much closer to the left-hand portion of the fender than the right side. I also notice that the where the wear stripe is my tire is left of center. This indicates I am leaning to the left to go straight. Which would make sense if my rear tire is off to the left.

If the sprocket lines up with the belt, and the disc lines in the caliper, then how can the wheel be off centered. Are there spacers between the sprocket and disc brake?

 

My Slim was off to the left too, I centered it when I did the 200mm

Maybe this could help? -read post #58

 

How'd you center it?

 

Are you sure it wasn't off to the left before the tire change? Did you pull the wheel yourself and was the pulley and rotor taken off for any reason? Just a thought but maybe the spacers between the wheel and pulley and between the wheel and rotor are reversed, if they are different sizes that could do it. If it was off before, it might have come from the factory reversed. If not I cant figure how the pulley and rotor can line up with the belt and caliper?? Can you post some pics?? I'd like to see it.

 

It 1/8" off center. Which is huge when there is one about 1/2" of clearance with the tire and fender...huge.

 

Ya I see, just checked mine and it is in the dead center of the fender. If no one has had the pulley and rotor off and possibly reversed the spacers and the stock spacers are still in their original position, it must have been wrong from the factory. I would take it to the dealer!! I'm running a Metzeler 260mm by the way and there's 5/8" on each side. Mine is a 2014, but like you, I would think the 2015 should be centered also.

 

I put a .0625 (1/16") pulley spacer between the wheel and pulley then faced .0625" off my right side spacer. Pulley stays lined up and it shifts the wheel to the right.

 

Mine is off as well. Likely anyone who says their Breakout isn't, just has not actually measured.

 

can you massage the fender? if the pulls line up? Or is it just ore noticeable with the fatter tire?
