I just finished installing a set of spoon calipers in my teg. The USDM 15's wheels fit perfectly but the JDM's barely touch. My questions are:

It’s safe to use spacer?

If it is, what size do I need?

I think 5mm would do but I not sure. Thanks for the help in advance.

 

5mm and you should be fine, that is without extended studs and all that.

 

you will need the spacers. i think its 5mm for it post some pics

 

Here are some pics:





The USDM fit perfect but the JDM's didnt, so I used some washer for temporary use since I'm only driving it twice for some photoshop. After is going for long term parking for RHD.

 

what offset do you need to actually clear the Spoon calipers without having to use spacers?

 

Don't be ghetto....



Hell, you spent the money on the calipers, buy some real spacers, not washers.....

Why are the calipers mounted upside down? The bleeders should point up.

 

lol

 

A 3mm spacer should be fine. Just as long as you can fit a Credit card in between your good.

 

Yea someone pointed out in another forum, but at the same time why would the bleeders be on top. That makes a mess everytime you need to bleed them.

 

Air rises, and you use a hose to bleed them into a container. Bleeder should be on top.

 

This is correct.

 

Lol holy crap dude.

Wrong lugnuts, new tires asap, stake your axle nut (driver side); as others have said you installed the calipers wrong, and I hope you didn't actually stack washers for a wheel spacer LMFAO. Dont post here when your wheel falls off on the freeway cause that would be too fing funny.

Shoulda spent the money on new suspension, or any of a number of things.

 

I already know all of that, that's why I don't use those wheels. The lugs are buddy club which they work fine with oem wheels. There's no need to stake the axel nut since engine is coming off soon for rhd conversion. And washer are for temporary use so I could take some photos before I do the conversion. And finally, you don't tell me on what to spend my money on. I already have something lined up for my suspension. Also next time don't comment like you know everything on this situation.

 

^welcome to the ITR forum....:p

if you own one you would know

 

I predict this thread wont end nicely....

 

Archimedes agrees with this statement.

OP, place a hose over the bleeder end to avoid a mess with the bleeders correctly facing up. How do you ever expect to get a firm pedal with trapped air?

Also, 4-piston calipers are typically directional with smaller and larger pistions. If they are upside down, they are on the wrong side with the incorrect directionality.

 

Welcome dude...

Please... the opinions stated here are that of each own member, but you posted here for help and thats what the other members are trying to do. Please don't be offended. These helpful hints have been covered here many times and we've seen countless other make the same mistakes only to come back and thank us. I hope you enjoy your stay here.

 

I’m not offended; *edit* I'm not new to the Integra world (trust me you see my built log) but I am new to spoon parts. All I wanted to know is what size of spacers I need for the JDM wheels. Now if he had commented in a *edit* way I would told him the situation on why everything is like that.

Now I would like that thank everyone on telling me the size that I need and also the calipers will be in the correct position soon.

In another note I don't DD this car at all, so I don't put other people in danger with my ghetto spacers lol.

Here's the teg that I'm talking about, many of you know this car already.

 

glad to see my old calipers in good hands. i never personally used jdm 16's but i had stock 15's starks spoons and enkies and RG's on there with out any clearence issues

 

Good to hear, your pics just made it look like ghetto stuff was going on. It wasn't and you've got a plan. More power to you

 

Thanks bro, and sorry for getting mad so quick. I will edit on top.

 

Hell yea bro, I love them.

And the seats are super clean, they look perfect with my interior.

 

glad you like them im trying to sell my second set now. you should post some pictures of your complete car later
