It was not the bearing cover. It's is actually the flute of the drum that is not allowing the rim to sit flush with the rim. Spacers have solved the problem. Luckily there are no clearance issues and I like the look but still...WTF.
Have to laugh, narrow the beam 4" and then add 1"spacers to fit the wheels.
Maybe my pops was right all this time. "Just leave it the way it was intended and you won't have any problems!". LOVE YA DAD!
