Default VP knuckles wont clear rims

I just put some VP knuckles on my Berg with mayhem wheels and the knuckles hit the screws on the inner beadlock ring. What is wrong ive seen people run mayhem wheels w/VP knuckles.

Pictures? That's odd. I run VP knuckles with mayhem wheels and had no issues with the clearance.

My VP knuckles are showing signs of wear in the brass bushings, where the screws go through.

Ditto on this one......they just needed to be cleaned up a little bit and then they worked fine.
