Which calipers for CE28Ns?
To save trawling through the masses of threads, can anyone definitively say which aftermarket calipers will work with my soon to be fitted 17x7.5 ET50 CE28's WITHOUT spacers?
I'm not looking for improved braking performance per se, just something a little more aesthetically pleasing than the OEM items.
Thanks
Mark

Thanks everyone for the information - but I'm confused...
The diagram below shows wheel offset:

The greater the offset, the more clearance between the broken line and the red line.
The posted Spoon caliper link states the spoon calipers will fit a CE28N 17x7.5 +43 offset w/ +3mm spacer. That's +46 mm offset in total.
I have CE28N 17x7.5 +50 offset so I have 4 mm more clearance and than the above so I don't need a spacer?

The lower the offset the more the wheel sticks out of the arches.

It's the other way round .... + 3mm gives 40mm offset in total.

Just found this link:
http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp
It states with the new wheels I have 13 mm less clearance than with the original 17"x 7" +43 offset.
