you're welcome. i was puzzled that someone else said these wheels might require a spacer, because

there is more clearance than the stock wheels. what i'm measuring with the tool in the pic is the closest point between the spokes and the caliper. i just eyeballed the distance between the barrel and the caliper. i would definitely keep the wheel weights away from this area to be safe.
this thread is great, glad to contribute.


edit: i didn't fully answer your question. yes, the distance between the back of the spokes and the caliper surface with the printed words is more than 5mm. i didn't yet measure because i was concerned with the closest points but i would be glad to later.


edit 2: fwiw the clearance from the "brembo" face of the caliper to the back of the spoke is c. 0.2" towards the inner, increasing to 0.4" as the spoke goes outwards.
