Did you order the dished wheels or the non dished wheels?
I have D1R's on mine the fronts are fine to the caliper without a dish, but the rears require a spacer with the dish.

Cheers guys.  :-) :-) :-)  
She takes a lot effort to stay that bright and clean.

Spacers on my rears are 5mm, so not too big. I have spares actually if you need some.
I thought the Samurai wheels were the 5 spokes like mine.
