Spoon Monoblock Caliper Fitment
I'm running a non-staggered setup which is RPF1 17x9 +45 offset. I am planning to get a BBK but was wondering if the Spoon monoblock calipers would fit with this setup? If not, anyone know what CE28N 17x9 offset size would work this caliper setup then?

The 17x9 +45 rpf1 barely has clearance to the stock calipers. You'd probably need at least a 15mm spacer to make them work. They are one of the worst wheels to run if you have intentions of using anything other than stock calipers.

Yeah I think I heard the 17x8 +45 clears by maybe a mm or two, but only because the spokes are more convex. Off topic, but does anyone know whether the Stoptech kit requires more clearance than the Spoon one, or are they about the same? Anyone do a direct comparison of the template?

RPF1 17x9 +45 doesn't clear any big brake on the market right now.
I have the same isue, I want more brake but can't with does wheel need better brake pads and disc to do the job.

I wish a freaking company would figure out how to make a slim enough "big brake" caliper to fit under stock wheels and proper-fitting aftermarket wheels. I'd buy the Spoon calipers tomorrow (for the looks and pedal feel alone) if they fit like OEM calipers. Having to buy wheels that don't fit right or running spacers with extended studs and having to roll fenders would be a massive headache.
