Centering rear rim and spoket

[ismellnownlatters]

Can I use washers as spacers for rear wheel? And does it really matter if the rear tire is inline with front tire. It seems hard to get the engine sporket inline with wheel sprocket and still have tires inline with each other

Welcome to the M/B hobby, Nothing fit's as it should

Yes you should try and figure out how your gonna keep the rear wheel centered between the dropouts
Spacer thickness and jam nut thickness will help you space the wheel correctly,

I guess I was lucky. My sprockets, chain, and all lined up easily out of the box. The seller even added in a couple washers to the kit in case of chain clearance issues. I did not need them.

Mine is inches off lol I'm sure it would be better with a multi gear spoket instead of my huffy 1

Dang as much as I hate Walmart they have deals on bikes. But everytime I go there I get behind a couple who block the aisle walking so slow I give up and turn around and use the other aisle . When I'm in Walmart I'm trying to get out as fast as I can lol.
