I understand Dynabob. I was going to do exactly that, but decided I'll jsut get a new tire instead of having to deal with getting a new shoulder washer pressed into my rear caliper. My 2002 has a 130 stock but had a 150 when I bought it on stock wheels. I ran Metzler 150 too on the stock style wheels not problem. the problem is that the hub on my DNA is not offset on the left like my stock wheel was.

oh ok.........i was gonna say you might have enough extra on your brake caliper to mill off and add to the pulley side spacer........if i remember right the older brake calipers had plenty to mill off, my 200 rear does not..........thats wut i was getting at .........mill 1/8 or wut ever your need off the brake caliper and add to the spacer on the pulley side........................if your old rim was offset diff dont ya think the metz will have the same prob ...........i dont know wut you had the metz on, old rim?new rim?.......sorry if i didnt help i tried

I appreciate the help. The stock rims had the 150's on it. the hub is wider on the left than the right on those. Makes sense.

There is plenty of room to mill the caliper, I just don't want to deal with it.

Ok, so here is the situation on the spacers and all on the rear wheel now. There is the spacer for the axle adjuster, the caliper with a shoulder bolt pressed into it, a narrow spacer, wheel hub, big spacer, axle adjuster. The spacer on the right side(brake side) looks to be 1/4". So if I mill off 1/4" of the caliper which there is room to do, and add an extra 1/4" spacer to the right that would take care of it you would think?

yea thats wut i was getting at ..your brake caliper IS a spacer if you have 1/4 inch room to mill off the caliper on the axle, then add that too the pulley side spacer.............we might be mixed up on the caliper thing.......the part thats milled is the part that the axle runs through
