Default Installed my hub and quick release(wheel is crooked)

Got it all installed and it looks great but the wheel doesnt line up. Its off to the left and I tried to turn the hub more right before I put the QR on and it still sits crooked. What can I do? Thanks.

do you have a momo hub?

If so, it's always going to be one notch to the left, or one notch to the right.

If your alignment is perfect, go to a big parkinglot, drive in a STRAIGHT line, with the hub unbolted. When you know it's PERFECT, put it on.

Alright, well thanks for the info and Ill go out to a wide open space tomorrow and get it as close to perfect as posible. You mean to drive with the hub bolt loose and then tighten it when its perfect right? sorry for asking all these questions you guys just know a lot more that I do you know.

what I did was I put the wheel on the momo hub. then I drove in a straight line, fixed it, drove, fixed, drove, fixed. Then I took the wheel off, tightened the hub, then installed my QR, and then installed the wheel. The people at Wal-Mart are gonna stare, I promise.
