Default 2004 Fat Boy having trouble centering my new rear wheel

I just bought new 50 spoke drag spectalites wheels for my 2004 fat boy and i am having trouble getting it centered, the part numbers match in the book and on the box the rear wheel came in, do i need new spacers? or could they have shiped the wrong rear wheel???????????

If the wheel hub is a different width, you will need different spacers.

Do you know if your old wheel was centered?
I have a 2005 SE Fat Boy and the rear wheel does not have an equal space to the sides of the fender. I can slip my fingers between the tire and fender on one side a lot easier then the other. According to what I have read on the forum this is how HD built the 2005 Fat Boy.
I do not know if HD did the same thing with the 2004.
