Well, the kind of didnt, if you look at all the Ford Fusion kits that have been built, the tires fit very close to where they should, this is a built up for a show, my guess is they probably didnt push the wheels all the way onto the metal axle, who knows . its a test shot, and its meant for the kiddo's anyways, so dont let it bug you to much, there are glue kits coming towards the end of this year/early next year.
