Buddy of mine just got a set of wheels p coated to put on his 89 1100. Front went on fine. Back went on fine until he went to mount the caliper up. It's Like the original 89 hanger is wrong... I've enclosed a pic of it too see. Where the caliper mounts to the hanger, there is like 3/8" missing

Same left spacer. Same hanger. Same right spacer.

The wheel is a 5.5 as was the last

It is different where the rotor bolts on. Like the rotor is too far to one side

Thought all 5.5 were a bolt in deal??

It is a curved spoke rim, same as the one we took off

It already had a 5.5

He got this set and had them powder coated, and sold the polished ones on it

Yes Suzuki wheel. Tryed to show the rim numbers in the pic

Sprocket side all lined up.

The difference is the rim he took off put the rotor out further

You can see the rim differences by eye, but thought a5.5 was a5.5.
