the wheel may require an offset hub as well in order for the ring to have adequate clearance. I found this out when I was looking at a different wheel last season, and I posted the info in my blog for my own reference. The wheel I tried had a hub that placed the spikes closer to the pedestal and the ev100 drive unit would not fit.
