Re: Millenia Wheels meet Spoon Calipers (Doctor CorteZ)
They do not fit with out spacers.... I tried moving the washer and off seting the caliper, then grinding the calipers down some, but it still would not fit. 5mm spacer is close, 6mm spacer works perfect.
Here you can see where i hit them with the die grinder (circled in red)
Here is where they still hit inside the rim

Re: Millenia Wheels meet Spoon Calipers (austrian type-R)
so, you mean OEM rims like my Enkei 6x15 offset 50mm will clear the Spoons?

But I've never heard of people using the Spoon calipers for the 15" wheels that come stock on the Euro/Aussie ITRs. You better find out before making the purchase.

Actually spacer is not a bad thing at all. It helps the car tracks in better, quite noticeable too.

OT, but do the newer chr0med 5-spoked Millenia wheels fit Rs too? Anyone know the weight of those?
Edit: This is the wheel I was talking about, but found out it is a 17". No thanks.

I would have ground the spoon and nisson logos off first. Then ground a bit more off then he did, I bet we could make em fit

Craig, just make sure you stop grinding when you see brake fluid coming out.
