I had to shave the wheel slightly on my OFNA box to get it to clear the chassis consistantly... once I did that it worked fine. I just took a rat-tail file and held it against the wheel while running the box. (jammed the sharp corner of the end against it at an angle.)

Note that I am talking about the THICKNESS of the wheel, not diameter. I just beveled the edge a little.
