What size spacer?

15mm would work too.

And how did you solve this? Adjust the calipers? Or add the spacer.

I bought 5mm spacers. Then sold the wheels and spacers to KLR142

I would imagine as Redwood suggested 3mm working. He knows.

But not with stock studs.

5mm spacers on stock studs with alloys is pushing the limit of proper thread engagement.

Yes I've run the 15 spoke 780 wheels on a late 240 [vented calipers] with those 3mm spacers I linked to.

You are correct. With the 5mm spacers the thread engagement is on the border. I think I had 6 turns before full tight. Also, with the alloy wheel nuts the stud was very inset. It looked very disconcerting. I wasn't comfortable running them. Hence, why I sold them.

3mm spacers would have allowed more thread engagement and an increased confidence/reality in the wheels staying on while driving.

Thanks Ken

Ya it puts the et back at 22mm which is good for a 240 as well.

Yea, that's pretty obvious. Good thing someone sells them on the cheap.
