Wheel list that fits over spoon calipers...

I'm looking for a set of beater wheels for the winter that will fit over these calipers. So far, the "best" option I've found is the Drag DR-31 17x8 +35mm wheel (Discount Tire sells it). That's from sending Mountain-man's template to the manufacturer to verify (thanks Mountain-man!!). Anyone else have any luck finding some cheap wheels (<$150/wheel) that fit?

hello, I have a stupid question
today I fitted my spoon calipers, I've got SW388 +35 / +45, all was ok but... If I had a puncture on a front tire, what I have to do??? the spare tiere of course can't fit, and I can't use a rear tire (+45)

Unless you want to buy a random front wheel that fits to use as a spare (maybe rpf1 because they are the cheapest on the list) you will have to have the car towed and have a new tire put on. You shouldn't use the rears to replace a damaged front- spare tires can only be used on the front.

The Drag DR-31 17x8 +47mm clear the Spoon calipers by about 3-4mm. These wheels are cheap (about $130 each) so they make a good winter setup (don't care if they get messed up).
