I picked up a set of wheels here this week, but like a div didn't check that the freehub is 11 speed compatable.

Is this a simple case of buying an 11 speed freehub and swapping them over?

It's shimano type freehub. I need to fit my Sunrace 11-46 cassette. They are Specialized hubs.

Do I need to find a Specialized freehub, or will other brands fit?

Thanks

ok, good to know, cheers. I must have assembled/stacked it incorrectly.

It's MTB. By the sounds of things I just didn't have it set properly onto the hub, causing it to be raised a few mm.  I'll try again tomorrow
