I think you will need 16" wheels

Due to the fact that they clear the USDM stock wheel, I don't see why you'd have any trouble Den.
Greg - who just went to Spoon's web site, and couldn't find the answer...
Call Brandon or Dave at http://www.inlinefour.com tomorrow, and they can tell you for sure
*edit* Their site only mentions "These calipers will only fit Type-R or Prelude sized rotors. Sold as a front pair." Doesn't mention anything about wheel's. Your best bet would be to call them

It depends on the offset and spokes...

The calipers don't fit under the Millenia rims because of the spokes.

I believe it will, because it has exect same clearance with compared to EK9 stock rims which is USDM DC2.

i would think you would need 16's no less. look at how our type r caliper is so close to hitting the wheel already. i have a hinch it won't fit 15's

Asspenny had a problem with the spoons rubbing the millenia spokes, i think he solved it with a 6mm spacer(or five).

The twin block is the usual version they sell. The mono block is generally a universal application, particularly the S2K and the DC5s.

nope, will NOT fit, US spec wheel will work, you'll need spacer for UKDM wheels.
