akyakapotter Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Had my racing harts sat in my garage since I went ksport as they wouldn't fit at the time I really want to run these wheels so went about seeing how much of a spacer I'd need in the pics it's up to 30mm it's just touching and I mean just I think 33mm and I'll be able to run them.
