I install the Spoon 4 pot calipers and ITR 5 lug conversion...if you know the wheels with caliper clearance (i prefer non use the spacers), please post your oppinion.
What wheel for caliper clearance?

considering the 5-lug, try the type R forums.. they'd be better at that than i think we could be..

 

the advans are pretty generous in terms of caliper clearance, but you would prolly wanna ask the itr forum. PIMP car btw

 

Advan RG pretty sure will fit

 

im gonna say the advans but surely the spoon wheels would fit over em

 

thanks....i try the ITR forum....i like the advan, that is light and beautiful!!!!

 

i think the advan rg will fit...it mainly depends on the offset of the rims i believe...i can be wrong...

 

15" spoon rims clear the caliber...so i think RG can too

Jeff-

 

why not just run the ITR wheels for now, they fit.

 

fyi i have taken a profile of a 16" RG wheel before and the caliper clearance is ****. TE37 has been the best thus far...over mugen wheels too.

whats crackin adam!

 

I have them on my civic, and my freinds do to, i use volk 17, my freind has soon 16 and my other has volk 16 and they clear fine. you know you could of bought roters for your civic from fastbreak that will work with the spoon calipers, thats of course if you wanted to do the 5 lig conversion.

 

The CE28N
(16”x7JJ – 5x114.3 +48 offset) Caliper clearance????
(16”x7JJ – 5x114.3 +60 offset) Caliper clearance????
(17”x7.5JJ – 5x114.3 +50 offset) Caliper clearance????



EF 8 = + 50 offset stock

What sizes are you looking at?

 

If you mount the 5 lug conversion, added 5 mm (ITR hub), offset deplaced 5 mm = STOCK +50
5 LUG CONVERSION +55.....
If you mount the spacers for caliper clearance (8, 9, 10 mm.) you are +63, +64, +65 offset.
I think that reasonably it is necessary to find a rim that does not need to mount spacer, not to increase offset, since it is difficult to find rims with more than +50 offset.

 

i look for 16x7, 17x7 or maximum 17x7.5

 

i think the Advan Kreuzer X, or Prodrive GC-07 is a good fit because are not a deep wheels ...but the problem with all list wheels is not available in Europe...

 

don't do 17's....try ur best not to at least. btw thats a nice clean place ur car is at in that pic.

 

I prefer 16x7". I believe that is the reasonable measurement for not alter too much the geometry of the car

 

Get 16" Work Emotion CRs. A set should run you about $1100. And these are cast rims.

 

are not preferable the forged rims?

 

think that could be adapted ITR brake masters cylinder/booster in a EF8?

It is the Brake master cylinder and booster of EF8!!!!

 

I have the Advan RG's on my CRX and there is tonnes of room for the caliper to clear. I am doing Integra brakes on my car soon and I am not worried about the clearance issues. Get the Advan RG's they are sweet.

 

thanks you...i like too much the RG...light and beautiful wheel!!!

 

your RG size is...?
