Default LS7 Main Wheel / Landing Gear question

Thanks JJ, but the wheel is actually off-center in the direction of the wider spacer.

That being the case, then it might be that the wheel is mounted off-
center at the factory, and that's just the way it is. It is very
typical among HP-series operators to shift the wheel 1/2" or so off-
center to accommodate a disk brake system. Such offsets seem to make
no discernible difference to the takeoff, landing, or rollout
characteristics.

Thanks, Bob K.
