Ok, a stock 2,2T has 84mm cylinders. Unless the cylinders were bored out to 85mm, 85mm is the wrong ring. Measure the cylinders with a bore gauge and determine the right size rings, then install those with the factory-recommended ring gap.

Ring gap is customarily measured by placing the ring in the bottom of the cylinder, leveling it out (a piston can be used for this) and placing a feeler gauge in the gap.
