My suspension is an M10 x 162. I am just getting it ready to reinstall on the sled. I have my back axle which measures out to 19.88mm the wheels I have for it are the Arctic Cat generic wheels as Ive gone through too many aluminum wheels in the past. The wheels measure 19.99mm at the bearings, the old wheels I just took off measure 19.98mm at the bearings. The wheels fit but you can move them around ever so slightly. Should the wheels fit tight on the axle or is this normal?

if you can move them around you may get into a position of the inside of the bearing turning on the axle and making the problem worse. but it looks like it is no different than what you had before. .01 of a mm you cannot even see that if it was a string of steel you wouldnt even know it was there. i would run them and leter buck. if it breaks hell its only money lol
you should be good, i bet even your old ones moved on the axle a bit. much tighter and you would have to press or hammer them on.
