20MM spacers work fine in terms of clearing the calipers, they clear by quite a bit. But when using 20mm H$R type spacers with integrated studs you get about 5mm of the oem studs protruding through the spacer hub face (you can see that in my one picture). Ap2v3 rims have shallow pockets on the hub mounting surface that are about 3mm deep, so I had to drill the pockets about 2mm deeper so the oem stud protrusions don't touch the rims. For some reason ap2v1 and v2 rims have really deep pockets on the inside hub surface, but the pockets on the v3's are much more shallow. It was very easy to do just using a hand drill and putting dark grease on the oem studs to locate the areas that were touching.

I am not doing any track events anytime soon. (need new trans)

I need to replace my pads and this will be the first time i will not be using Project Mu pads.

I heard that the 350z Track Edition brake pads fit the Spoon Calipers? I am just looking for a quick autozone brake pad.

For a purely street driven brake pad I'm really enjoying my Carbotech 1521 pads they work great with my Spoons on the street.

So the 17x9 +40 CE28 fits, I'm wondering if the same size of the Gramlights 57xtreme will fit?
