I've just had a chat with the authorities regarding the road legality of my wheel and brake combo. Funny thing - the brakes are legal, and the wheels are legal. BUT - in order to fit the wheels over the brakes, I have to use a spacer. Which is not legal. This leaves me with quite a problem.
The only way to have that combo road legal is if Volk themselves have tested my wheel with a spacer and can document that this is an approved setup. I seriously doubt that exists.
So - if anyone has experience on the subject, I'd like to hear it. I need at least 6mm more spoke clearance than the TE37 gives. I can't go wider than ET35.
Currently I have 15" inch wheels, will a set of 16" or 17" wheels with the same offset have bigger brake clearance?
