Default Type R Swap Rotors

I am doing a type R brake swap on an EG civic but running into some fitment issues with my Mini Cooper rotors. I believe there are some large rotors off one of the Honda's in the UK that are a direct swap (no need to get the spacer around where the studs go through). Does anyone know which vehicle works?

So the Type R is 5 lug (5x114.3), same front rotors as the US 97-01 CRV. Mini rotors are 4x100. What are you looking for? 5 lug or 4 lug?
Also, what front knuckles are you using?

Its 4x100. I saw them a while back while I was on Facebook but I just don't remember what car they came off of. I actually have the minicoopers but running into some fitment issues with Spoon Calipers. I am trying to avoid purchasing the Spoon Rotors.

I'm not intimately familiar with the Spoon calipers, but since they require an adapter to connect to the knuckle, I suspect they are made to work with the Spoon rotors. Looking at the specs of the Spoon rotors, they are 300mm which is larger than the stock Type R to begin with. The Mini Cooper rotors may be a tad too small.
