Will spoon clappers go over AEM big brake fronts?
Got the AEM's dirt cheap from a stealership I got a hookup with.
Anyone know if Spoon clappers will clear them? I'm not particularly wedded to them, though I do think they look mighty pritty.
Also, will I still need spacers and what not? I have 17" SSR Competitions so should have plenty of clearance still.

Nah. Clearance from a dealership and who knows how long they were sitting there. And my old lady has a relation by marriage to a higher up, so I get "family pricing."
Ordinarily they would have been a ridiculous $300+ but instead I got em for near half that.

Re: (DC5Chris209)
Engrish learn me teach. 
But yeah... AEM documentation indicates there's not complete pad overlap with the stock calipers but that it's within tolerance or some such, so I wouldn't expect complete coverage of the Spoon calipers made for 11.1" ITR rotors to be perfect. I am very close to buying a set of Spoons so guess I can try it. Worst case scenario, chuck/sell the AEM rotors.
Probably end up with full 5-lug eventually anyways. Anyone want to trade? 5-lug setup and 15" ITR/CTR (either gunmetal or white) for 5x 17" 4 x 100 SSRs (have a full sized spare)? Doubt it.
