.012 (12 thousandths) is what I usually set em at. Make sure you gap em. I've seen some that were .004. When your rings (especailly when new) get hot they expand which closes the gap and then they press on the cyl wall and end up pushing into the exh port and hangin a ring and ruining.that new bore job.

Also, if they are to tight you will have to file them. When filing them , file from the outside in, run the file from the surface that touches the cylinder towards the center of the ring. This prevents any burrs that could scratch the cylinder.
