Hi Rega guys I need your help on some info to mount my 17*9 MP set.
The center bore of My 17*9 +38 MP set is about 65mm and i just found today that it neither fit the front hub nor cleared my spoon caliper.. kinda surprised cus I didn't meet such problem with my 16" SW388 many years ago, neither for CR93 I'm running now. Based on an old post on this thread said 17x8j +35 would clear spoon caliper without a spacer, can anyone confirm this again from own experience?
If that's a sure thing I'll have to change my 255 square set up to staggered. Appreciate if someone can help me out!

I can check mine when i get them listed for sale, but they are very similar to the weights of the CE's. The Regas are just slightly heavier in my experience.

If they are the same as the 8/9 +45 Regamasters it should be 73mm. I have some hubcentric spacers that are that size that fit perfectly into my Regamasters.

Discount Tire. They sell Gorilla plastic hub rings. $5 for a set of four. You'll need two different sizes, but $10 is far cheaper than the $50+ I was seeing when I was looking for rings online.

Thats super cheap, so plastic ones would be better than aluminum? The cheapest once I found were from "touge-factory" on eBay for $17 but they were aluminum
