R98 Web Spoke on R56 fJCW: only fits with spacers

A quick informational post:

I recently identified the need to have a second set of rubber for track days and wanted an affordable solution for the rims. Found some R98 Web Spoke for my JCW but couldn't find an exact answer if they fit the JCW brakes (most threads indicated: yes with spacers, but no pictures).

I do agree. They will only fit with 15mm spacers (got mine from WMW).

Pictures:

R98 Wen Spoke on JCW with 15mm spacer: leaves about 5mm between brakes and rim.

Image looks like the rim touching the top of the caliper: bad angle from the camera and the calipers need cleaning. It does not.

The same scene with the R112 (without spacers):

R112 on JCW without spacers: about 8mm clearing.

With only about a 1/2" of spoke clearance required for the 13" DP6 kit my guess is they will fit quite well.

But of course to be on the safe side compare the wheel to the require clearance from the wheel fit diagram.
