    They’re 16x7’s, I do love a TE… shame they don’t still make them new in my size/pcd etc. I was tempted by some new regamasters but I just couldn’t justify the price. As it turns out, I wasn’t a million miles away from that by the time I’d finished refurbing these. 20/20 hindsight. Not driven...

    That’s 16mm of spacer. Awkward size, Not sure if I’ll get away with 15. It’s a lot more than I was hoping for. There’s a slight chance I’ll gain a mm or so back, as I’m not sure if I’ve got the spacer on right. I don’t think I’ll know for sure until the pistons see some pressure.
