i was wondering if anyone knew what offset and size regamster/sw388 rim will fit with the spoon caliper?i dont want to extend the studs or use spacers. thanks

 

The 15x6.5" +45 Spoons need a 13mm spacer.

The 16x7" +45 Spoons clear the calipers without incident.

EDIT: Added offset.

13mm?!will the rim even sit on the center hub?

 

If you don't want to use spacers you have to get 16s in the front.

 

PM Mario on this, he has done the mod under 15" spacers but I think he running into the clearance problems with his front fenders.

 

He's lowrider spec now.

 

Spoon calipers with Spoon SW388 1565 +42 will require atleast 8mm spacer.

 

Question: Will the 16" Spoon SW388 Rims clear AEM's big brake kit. Anyone know? Thanks.

 

Blasphemy!

The AEM kit is not a worthy brake upgrade.

 

That's what I thought, but what would you suggest on a budget? I'm using OEM drilled Brembos now with Metal Master pads.... Nevertheless will it clear?

 

I will have detailed pictures and a writeup as soon as my calipers come in.

 

Thats debatable; some say yeah it's ****, some say well, any time you increase the torque being applied to the rotor by moving the caliper outward, has a positive effect on brake feel. Personally, its the same w/ any big brake kit; what's hype and what truth depends on who you talk to, perosnally, I wouldn't use an AEM kit, or anything that involves moving a stock caliper further out w/ a bracket on a larger 'pretty' rotor, doesn't sit well w/ me, but to others thats just what the want.

Oh, and whoever was asking about fitment of the AEM kit; click below:
