keep in mind that not all wheels will clear the Spoon calipers without spacers.

e.g. the stock wheel needs 20mm spacers to clear them

stock wheels need 15mm spacers to clear. PURIST we'd need to know what offset your TE37s are. and 17x?????

What size and offsets are you running with the Volks? Turbo_pwr is correct you will need a 15mm spacer with the Spoon calipers. There are several wheels you can get that you wont need a spacer. Spoon is one Werk is another....
