When I tighten the wheel nut down all the way the tire doesn't move freely at all. I was wondering if there is a specific way the shims have to go in. Example: 2 shims, wheel with bearing, 1 shim, wheel nut. Thanks
Not all wheels are the same
Normally 1 shim on inside, turn wheelnut on just far enough to keep wheel secured, but not so tight to keep from spinning free
If using BSR wheels you may use a shim on both sides as these wheels have a thinner center section
