It should, but if it doesn't I doubt it will need more than a very thin spacer. I think you'll be okay.

Spoon SW388 16x7 +35 fit over Spoon brakes.

your TE37 is close but TE's have a bad design for BBK. it should fit, if not just a small spacer like cuonice said.

Yeah im thinking about it. Im definately going spoon calipers.

I was thinking about running a te37 in 16x8 +38 front and a 17x9 +40 rear.

If not ill juet get a ce28 in 17x7.5 43 and 17x9 +45.

I've always been a fan of the 16/17 setup... I'd like to see you do the TE's personally. Plus, the Spoon calipers will look more pronounced behind a 16" wheel... think about it

Volk makes a 16x8 +42 ce28. That might actually clear with no spacer.

A 16" TE up front would look hard. Do it.

On a side note, have you considered RE30's? I hear they have pretty good clearance.

I don't like the re30 spoke design. They do have nice clearance though.
