Spinning wheels before in a different place (9)
I believe the answer is:
elsewhere
'in a different place' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'spinning wheels before' is the wordplay.
'spinning' is an anagram indicator.
'before' becomes 'ere' (poetic term for 'before').
'wheels' anagrammed gives 'elsewh'.
'elsewh'+'ere'='ELSEWHERE'
(Other definitions for elsewhere that I've seen before include "different places" , "In a different place" , "away" , "abroad?" , "different position" .)
