Due to the offset rear dropouts wheel needs to be dished by ~17.5mm in order to have rear chain cog away from rubbing the tire simultaneously having both wheels in the same line. Surly supplies an adapter so you can use it for your offset wheel builds.

My spoke length calculations were wrong for a non drive side. Problem was fixed by filing the excess length off.
