Would anyone know if the Spoon calipers will clear Work Meister S2R in size 18"x8" with +51 offset?
How abt the Volk CE28 18"x8", what offset would be needed to clear?
Thanks!

Thanks haven't really been posting much. But updated the list on top. Since Spoon calipers are the smallest basically if the wheels clear brembo's, stoptech, endless, etc... it will fit spoon. The only caliper that might not apply are the wilwoods.

So far everyone has posted what wheels will work with and without spacers, but I have not seen anything that might be important for those whose rims are not on the list as of yet, so I have this little request:
Would it be possible to provide specific dimensions of how far the calipers project out from the rotor? Or even better, provide an actual profile template (sort of like what Stop-Tech has) that will gage if the caliper will clear or not? This should dispense with all the 'will-x-wheel-with-n-offset-fit?' nonsense. I know someone else posted that not all of it has to do with the offset. It also has to do with spoke design. With that in mind, you could theoretically have a wheel with a negitive offset and still have the spokes smack into the caiper. Now, I realize that is an obtuse extreme, so please don't kill me for saying it.
SO! Getting back to the 'Will this wheel fit' nonsense, I have a set of SSR GT3s (+45mm front), and also use stock 16" rims. My first question is does anyone know if the SSRs will clear without spacers. My summer rims are already on the border of sticking out from the fender so a spacer is a no-no unless it's a very thin shim.
I already know that the stock rims will not fit unless I get a 15mm spacer minimum. That would require longer studds, which I don't want to get. Instead, I would like to get a set of 16"s that will accept (safely) the OE tire size, and clear the calipers wihtout a studd lengthaning spacer. Does anyone here know what will work?
I guess the biggest thing for me would be the specific dimensions or the profile gage. That information would be gold on a site/ thread like this. Not just for me, but others who might be looking into the Spoon 4 pots.
Thanks

Anyone know if AP2 OEM wheels will clear and CE28 17X7.5 +50 will?
Can we also use the non stagger CE28 17X9 +63 without spacers? I see that maxrev does but does he use spacers?
