    Just to clarify:
    If you increase the BB then you need to do it for all wheels.

    I run RP25 wheels as well as AG wheels at 16.7mm BB through checkrail gaps of 0.9mm with few issues (so far!).

    I nearly forgot!

    I now remember the main reason I adopted the bigger back-to-back is so that rolling stock is better centred on the track.
    This means that AJ couplings work much better.
