The original Telcasts were 14" (and weighed a ton). I don't know if the cross-spoke pattern was used in 14", I know there were a couple of different widths of it in 15" though (with the 390 getting the wider ones). The late 280s with US-style bumpers etc. got the OZ 5-spokes.

I had 14" lattice alloys on the 280i...

Sorry had to show them after the refurb...



And on the car...

Theres only a large gap above the O/S rear due to the camber of the road...Ziga

sorry, have been away .

The spacers are 10 mm and have the vented discs.
The spacers are diff to get but there is frequently listing on ebay.
Getting the calipers rebuilt was interesting, Uk price for parts was expensive ie pistons, local brake supplier found they were similar to land rover ones and shortened them few mm.
the seals were sourced by them also.
Total cost was under 125pds for the refurbishment ,(live here in canada) The uk cost was over 225 pds,I am back and forth regularly
so easy to shop. We are lucky to have local power steering/brake rebuilder that has interest in old cars.
