Hi I have a 2016 ktm exc 500. I just put faor supermoto triples on it and got a new axel and wheel and brake spacers machined for it. The issue I'm having is the front wheel and hub are not centered in the fork the are closer to the brake by about an 1/8 of an inch. When I bought the triples I also got a spacer kit that came with a new brake and wheel spacer and front axel but, The kit was for a 2015 ktm exc so the axel and wheel spacer were to big. So I had new ones machined the same length. And a new brake spacer was made to because it looked super ugly and didn't match the hub design. My question is if it's supposed to be off center? The rear tire looks center but it's tough for me to tell. If anybody could let me know if it's normal? Or if there is a slick way to check it I would greatly appreciate it.

It's supposed to be centered make sure the spacers and or axle are in place correctly meaning you tighten it enough to where everything seats properly. I have the same bike and I had the same issue but with diffent triples/axle/spacers.
Some factory SMs have the disc on a spacer (approx 5mm) my 701 for EG.
Often if aftermarket triples are wider than dirt bike setup, they come with this spacer. (I'd use longer screws)
Then it's just a matter of using the SM wheel spacers rather than the dirt ones.
I just tried one of my race wheels in my 701. With the 701 wheel spacers, it fit perfectly. But the disc didn't line up with the caliper. Would need to be spaced out.
