Hi everyone,

Like to seek some advice regarding the above matter.
Is there any ways to clear spoon caliper on my EK4 with 15x7.0 +40 Offset Rota Slipstream?

Thanks in advance...

 

sell those rims and buy a bigger set.

 

its a matter of offset, i believe
-> run spacers (with extended lugs if over 5mm)

[Ive never looked at the size of the caliper, but stock 15" itr wheels clear...apparently...]

Hi pdiggitydogg, I have thought of running a 5mm spacer too. But will that compromise the safety of the car?

 

not really no
5mm isnt that big of a deal, but like I said, you can always mount extended lugs if youre paranoid about it

 

THis may help

That was very helpful. Thanks LadyLuck88.

 

Anyone else tried putting Spoon Calipers on 15" rims? Any advices?

 

ITR & CTR(same) are 15" wheels and will cover Spoon calipers.

Hi JDM-EJ698, I have tried to fit my 15" Slipstream with the Spoon Calipers. Dun think it can fit in. This might be becos of the Knuckle different between the CTR, ITR and my EK4.

 

I think you need a dif offset wheels.I've got ITR wheels on 98 HB.And I put my wheels in my buddies hb with spoon calipers and they fit pertfect.I think the offset you need is +45.

 

Hmm, I tot by making the offset smaller, there will be a better chance of clearing it. If i am not wrong, the Spoon SW388 offset is +35. My friend advise me to put a 5mm spacer behind the rotors and that will solve the problem. Do u guys think it is a good way to solve the problem?
