This question was posed a few times in the past, but it never has been answered. Will 15x7.5" te37's fit over 1) stock calipers, and 2) spoon calipers? They come in +25 and +43. I'd be concerned the +25 would rub, so my question is focusing on the +43.

Anyone know the answer. Jeff needs your help

 

Doing some research shows that the +43 in 7" wide will not clear spoon calipers without a spacer. 7.5" didnt show any results.

 

See https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1 for more info...

 

I've been over that thread a couple of times, and I don't think 15x7.5" te37's are discussed there.

Larkin that's insulting! Budman = Jeff (slow, cw itr). Batoutahell = Jim (fast, black itr). Calling me Jeff is slanderous. If Jeff hears of it, he may get pi55ed.

 

Let's help Je...err...Jim out!

Chris N and Double A borrowed volks from wai last year. They used a spacer, but I don't know what size wheel or offset it was. Maybe they'll chime in.

 

jim, SSR type C, 15x7.5 +43

Even that is way too close. Take that out on the track and it might start grinding.

 

Yay!!! So that most likely means that my 15x7 +42 will fit over my spoons too. Nice! I was hoping they would fit.

 

The wheels I was referring to are the SSR Type-C 15x7 So I am pretty sure they will fit

Ooof shot down. Oh well, there's always spacers.

 

Doh....that sucks. Any idea how much of a spacer i will need?

 

a 5mm h&r spacer works good

 

15x6.5 steelies over nsx clapper.... closest i have seen that worked fine. gap was 2~3mm.

 

Damn, and I thought the stock caliper was a tight fit. I am assuming there aren't any spacers right Rodney?

 

Doh I gotta find a place that sells the spacer now. Bah Humbug!

Anyone know a good place to get a good quality 5mm spacer? H&R is like 70 bucks for a piece of metal? Shizz.

 

Hmm, so the 15x7 SSR doesn't fit, but the 15x7.5 SSR does. I wonder if that holds true for the te37's.

Eibach also makes the "pro spacer" which is a hubcentric spacer. Dunno the price though.

wait for black R to chime in, i sold him a set of 15x7 te 37's, +43 and he is sporting the smurf clappers

 

I PM'd Ken before I started this thread. He doesn't know if they fit.

those wheels don't clear spoon calipers. I see no reason the 15x7.5's will clear either - assuming the same offset.

Here's what Todd00 had to say:

"15x8 Volk TE-37's +43 will fit over Spoon Calipers with no spacer. "

.....from this thread:

not necessarily true.... a 15x7 vs a 15x7.5 withe the same offset, will have a 1/4" more clearance on the outboard (as well as inboard) edges. so, same wheel/spoke design, you will have 1/4" 6mm more brake clearance.

 

I shoulda got the 7.5's doh!

 

I have a set of 15x7s (+43mm) for sale

but they will not clear Spoon calipers
