I wonder if you guys can help me out. I know there are some extended threads covering this issue, but none adress this particular model and size. I also know that GIFF has a post with some wheels that will fit.

But I really like to get the Volks (te37 15x7.5 ET43 - 5x114.3) and need to know for sure if the above size will fit without spacers over the spoon calipers, if possible with picture.

Thanks for the info in advance.

P.S.: Don´t forget I live in Portugal and can´t test fit cause there is none around that has any of those exotic wheels.

 

send ITRsport.com a message....

 

I´ll try but in the mean time keep the info coming. Please

 

Black R was using Spoon calipers with 15x7 TE37s:

But, he was running a spacer on each side.

doh, my bad...im gettin old

 

I know 15x6.5" TE-37's don't work with Spoon calipers without a spacer....

I'm not sure about 15x7. I know this has been discussed before though...

 

it seems to vary for the R's?? i know my 15x7 +43 te37's BARELY cleared the spoon calipers on another HT members car.. and there are some people who have to use spacers because it didn't fit on theirs.

All usdm R's have them same setup. So that can't be right.

KenE was running spacers, but that might have been for tire size issues, NOT because they didnt' fit as is. so his case above is not valid.

15x6.5" i know for sure doesn't clear. this doesn't apply either.

7" may, but no one has bothered to search, since this question is not new to this forum.

 

OK so no one is using those 7.5inch Volks with the spoon calipers!? Maybe I will have to go with some other rims. Advan or CP035 probably. Those I know will fit. Anyways thanks for the help guys.

 

i know it can't be right... but how can you explain it fitting for some and not others?

er did you read what i wrote earlier? mine fit on someone else's ITR w/spoon calipers WITHOUT any spacers. and yes i know of others that do need spacers... hence my comment on something must be different even though it's the exact same car...
