This is good advice on both parts.

I am beginning to second guess now, having read through both your posts several times now, i wonder as you say you have a wobble, then it could well be the wheel bearings. Crash12888 suggests the rocking test but also do it at 3 and 9 of the clock too. If you see it rocking in several directions, its almost certain to be a bearing shot. If it was the rim not seated squarely, you would only get rubbing in one place on the wheel. unless all four wheel lug nuts are loose and allowing the rim to rock on the hub. If you do see movement, check to see if the hub is moving too.

And show us an image of the wheel as Bama Brad asked. I have just looked back at the other thread and the image of the wheel looks correct and appears to be on the right way round. You can clearly see the indentation of the tire bead seat lip and if it was on the wrong way you would see a curve in the wheel band straight after the bead seat lip.

If any of my descriptive words seem odd, don't forget i am British and struggle to remember you say and spell things weird over there LOL! I know a tyre is tire and wheel nut is a lug nut etc. Please forgive me for speaking the Queens English!

Never apologize, We have butchered the English language so horribly that we have to use closed caption to understand what we say!!!

Watching "Call the Midwife" with the lil princess on Netflix showed me what a travesty he have done to it. Beautiful language.
