Will that mount up front on a big red; no spacer required?

2" of wheel spacer is needed to get the wheel in the centre of the forks..I would suggest a handful of flat washers. Since the math is close but not exact. I did a similar front wheel swap on my SX and had to math it to fit.
After installing the wheel my SX a tape measure showed I was still about an 1/4" off, so I removed the wheel and placed some flat washers between the hub and spacers. Fits perfect.
The reason this dress rim fits this way is because you can only mount the brake hub on one side..since the rim is 4+3. The four inch side is the inside. So you have to compensate for 1.5 inches of hub offset from centre, plus .5 inch of rim offset from centre. Therefore 2" of spacer is needed..
If this were a steel wheel you could flip it would only need 1" offset..
Hope I explained this in a way that is understandable..
What tires are you going with?? Show some pics of your finished work for the class to see.
