Bought new tires - HELP!
#1
They just delivered new Dirt devils front 26-10-12 rear 26-12-12 The wheels are ITP steel, they were supposed to be black and chrome, but came in all chrome,no prob they will switch out. The problems or questions that I have are these.
#1 rear wheel sticks way out past fender, I know the tires are 2" wider but the wheel itself does not stick in over the brake rotor like my stock wheels do, it lines up perfect. Looks like you could damage rotor easier, but maintenance on that area would be easier. Is this how all 12" wheels are?
#2 Front tires do not seem to protect rim like the back tires do, good 1/8" of wheel sticking
out. Is that normal? I have the same air pressure in all. Looks like I will bend these the first ride.
Tires look great, and will post after first ride, but after another long wait!! X- mas in May!

Double check with whoever you bought them off of. Make sure they sent you the correct wheel offset for your machine. They can make the correction (if needed) when they send you the new set. As for the front, I'm not really familiar with the Dirt Devils. They may not be seated on the bead completely.
