Seriously? please help, thanks alot guys.......

 

Doesn't look like it but you never know until you try.

 

if those are in fact itr steelies then they should. spoon calipers have the same clearance as stock R calipers, they dont stick out any further than normal (wish i had a pair to really know ) so you should be fine.

Spoon calipers DO NOT have the same clearance as stock R calipers. That is why many aftermarket 15 inch wheels do not fit.

yes i was basing my hipothesis(sp) on the fact that they do fit behind OEM usdm wheels and so forth steelies would equal the same offset as the OEM's

This is true.

 

It's not only the offset but the spokes pattern and other parts of the wheel.

 

I think (thought) you needed 16" wheels to clear Spoon Calipers...

 

Some 15" wheels will fit. Check the thread by GiFF

 

itr steelies will fit spoon calipers with spacers

 

Thanks mugenfg360, that is an affirmative. I also called some places and they told me that if anything 5 or 10 mm spacers should fit with the steelies. I hope that is true. As for this post, thanks alot guys for helping me on this question. Much appreciated guys.....

 

Here is the Proof
Fits Spoon Calipers with 5mm Spacer

steelies

 

Moreover, why do you want the steelies? Aside maybe from using it as a spare.

 

Beater rims, winter rims etc
