True and False, there are and always have been 2 different offset Spoon rims in the 5 lug pattern +45 and +35.

Turbo_pwr,

Is it also true that the 35mm offset of chosen to create a somewhat wider front track?

So it's safe to get the Spoon's with a +45 offset on my lowered S? I've been sweating these wheels for a loooooong time. And I need them to complete my "Spoon'd" Spa. Right now I'm lowered on black stock wheels, and want to get the SW388's.

Chris, but don't you have the spoon brakes? If so, no you can't run the +45 in front it won't fit. You can lower but you need to define lower. 1", 2", ???? With +45 in front you can probably go with a KG/MM Sport Spring .75 drop. Any more and you are looking for trouble.
