I hope it's just an optical illusion but, YES, it does not look right.

Wheel Centering
 
Perhaps you have installed the wheel to the wrong side? Then the tire is on backwards (tread direction wise)? You wouldn't be the first to flip the rim to the wrong side.

Let us know.

No, tire direction is correct. Wheel direction is correct also because I did not remove the disc so it's pretty obvious where it needs to be. I too am hoping it's some kind of optical illusion. Can anyone post a similar pic of their bike to compare?

Optical Delusion
 
I went out to the garage and looked at mine. It looks just like yours. I must be having the same optical delusion. So, I think it's OK. If you get square in front of the tire & fork, the spacer is way bigger looking on the right hand side of mine also.

Mine looks like that, too.

Well that's a relief. Thanks guys!

After noticing how it looks off-center, it's gonna bug me now, thanks OCD.

Good looking tires. Nice to know that these will definately work. Note taken.

By the way, good looking ammo cans!

Someone mentioned "TiresCheap" on eBay. They have a listing with 5 (now 4 since I bought one) for the Cheng Shin C906 110/90-16. I emailed them before I bought it and asked if they had them and they said yes. But only time will tell I guess. So if are in desperate want or need of a C906 tire, you may want to check them out, not a bad price either, something like $57 shipped.

still waiting
 
I am still waiting for my tires from "tirescheap" on eBay . Seller has been communicating well, we'll see. Hoping to see them tomorrow. It as been a week and a half since I purchased them. I will post when I get them.

Just in case, I am still looking. I called traxms.com and the sales guy there said he could get them from a warehouse in Pennsylvania, for an extra $10. ($114.45 for front and rear w/shipping).
