CE28 and Spoon Calipers
Hi,
I am currently running 17" Time attack CE28 on my car (7.5" +50, 9" +63). I am intererested in the Spoon Calipers but I will obviously need spacers. My research indicates that I need a 10mm spacer for the wheels to clear the brakes. Is this correct?
Also, by adding 10mm spacers, will I have any fender clearance issues? I am currently lowered ~1" all around on Tein S-techs.
Thanks!

adding a 10mm spacer would make it a 17x7.5 +40 essentially.. I'm not really sure if it will clear or not.. IIRC the ce28's spokes have a flat backside (similar to my old work XD9's) and with my Works, I had to use a 15mm spacer to make it a 17x7.5 +35 to make it clear the Rotora BBK. Keep in mind that adding a 15mm spacer drastically changes the look of the front end and that your 17x9 +63's may look a bit "sunk-in" compared to the fronts.

Currently, I am lowered ~1" all around and have 225's up front. So I guess with proper camber, I shouldn't rub too much?
I guess the question now is, if I went with 15mm in the rear as well, would I have issues with the fender?

17*7.5 +43mm offset plus 3mm spcaer will clear. If you have 17*7.5 +50 then you will need 15mm spacer to clear.
