Chuck…..the 145s did not rub on the rear.  Needed spacers for the rear with 165's
Did not need spacers on front, but used anyway to get same track…..years ago so went with full 1" spacer for that way sticky out goofy look as I had no arches

I installed the Cosmics yesterday. They were mounted on Yoko A008's 165's. Slight rubbing in the rear against the swing radius arm. I'm hopjng the 3 or 5mm spacer will do the trick.

Spitz, It's been years since I ran the Cosmic Mk2s and never on drums. I expect they wouldn't rub at the front, but I would have thought they would have rubbed at the rear without spacers or 'spaced' drums.

I ran a set yrs ago on drums.
As I recall, with 145's no spacers or arches were needed and the tyres stayed pretty much inside the arch.

When I went to 165 they stuck out

Anyone out there running original 5 inch Cosmic Mk2's on their Mini with drum brakes? If so, what is your setup? Spacers needed, flares, etc. Thanks
