Default size of spacers calculation needed

I want to run Spoon Calipers with MF10's, I was wondering how much the spacers I need to clear them.

MF10 F: 17 x 7.5 with 52 offset

I dont mind the JDM flash fender look.

Thanks in advance!

You would not have to run a spacer with the 52mm offset. I just would not recommend to run the same wheel on all four corners on the S2K.

Jim, I am confident I need some spacers to clear the Spoon calipers. I just dont know what size of spacers I should run.

Here's some info I dug up that JsAP1 provided.

"You can actually run 16, 17, or 18 inch wheels. It all depends on offset, spoke curvature, and size. You can get away with a few 17 inch wheels with no spacers. I know for a fact the following fit with Spoon calipers."

Weds Sports SA90 +43 front
Black Racing Pro N1 +45 front
SW388 +35 front
Work Emotion CR 17 +43 front
Work S1 3 piece +37 front
Prodrive NSX look a like wheel +43 front

Based on your offsets you will probably need 8-10mm spacer which is going to require extended lugs. Hope this at least gets you in the right direction.

I believe Dickson (DCAP1) had this setup up. I think you could get away with a 10mm spacer but for some reason I want to say he told me he had two spacers so a 15mm on each side with extended studs.
