Just curious if anyone has any pics with gabs and spoon calipers for ek/dc...etc....i might pick up a set of used 32 offset gabs and they might clear but not sure

 

nobody?

 

 

jason from EMOTION.

 

whom ever owns that car with those wheels and brakes, free love bump!

 

anyone have the specs on that setup

 

what do you wanna know?

 

Well I already have the calipers but im buying a set of used Gabs that are 16" 32 offset. I wanna know if im gonna need a spacer to clear the spoons or not Seem like a pretty low offset but im not sure of the design of the spoke will hit or not

very nice

 

With a +32 wheel you're gonna smack the **** outta those calipers. A spacer will be needed for sure, but make sure you have enough thread engagement on your wheels studs, otherwise you're gonna snap those off. I might suggest some ARP extended wheel studs if you do that.

-EDIT- Are you going to be using the stock rotor/hub assembly? This could have an affect on it also.

 

the minimum 16in rim i believe is 38mm offset which is on my spoons , you cant stick a cunthair between the caliper and rim.

hmm...wouldnt 32 offset bring it farther towards the fender how would that hit the caliper? are you talking about the inside of the wheel somehow?

my 45 offset spoons clear them fine

 

The lower the offset, the bigger the lip. You take the width of the wheel, and base your offset number from there. The lower the number, the closer the hub of the wheel becomes to the center of the barrel, thus coming closer to your braking system. Read what Hella wrote, his s-dub's are +38 and ...<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Hella_JDM &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"> you cant stick a cunthair between the caliper and rim.</TD></TR></TABLE>

of course they will , 38's barely fit...

 

hmm i see what your sayin...so whats that setup there in the pics!!!!

 

those are 5 lug so they are 32mm offset , with spoon calipers . now the question is what size spacer he used if any . generaly youll need a spacer but depending on the rim, those spokes bow out more than the sw388's so it might clear no spaer.

 

Thanks for postin' my car bboyoracle.

+32 Offset, 5x114.3, 16x7 Gab's clear the Spoon Caliper with NO PROBLEMS. No spacer needed. Doesn't even come close to touching.

Only thing is if you want to slam your car, Gotta run a 205 size tire unless you want to roll your fenders and run the 215 size.

I have a close up picture of the space between the rim and the caliper at home, I can look it for after work. Here's another picture:
