Jim,

I'm not sure that we are measuring at the same point or surface. I'm trying to figure out how to explain this.

The surface I am using is the flat surface that the wheel sits against when it is mounted. This means the straight edge sits crosswise between the bolts and above the center portion of the hub. We are then measuring the difference of two contact points on the wheel mounting surface that are 5" to 8" apart.

Am I making sense here?

Ken, I have a 6 foot level and it just will fit between the lug studs. It
is difficult to see any misalignment on the flanges with it in place,
though.I prefer to use a precision straight edge. I have one that an old
time mill right made for me out of a head rig bandsaw blade. Still straight
after 50 years of use. It always hangs up when not in use. Works perfectly
across the flanges. Very accurate also.
