Please let me know. I'm going to buy a set of Kosei K1 15 by 7's today. They are off a Toyota and the offset is 38. Will that be ok for the R or should I keep looking??? Also wondering if this offset clears the spoon calipers.

Is it going to stick out? or sink in? I also read another post saying that the 15" k1 won't fit over R brakes, but I think that's BS.
It'll stick out a "tad".
The 38mm definitely clears the Spoon calipers (BlueR). The 43?mm clears stock ITR calipers (mine).

Oops I should have searched harder. There are numerous threads on this.
on myself. Sorry everyone. Delete this if need be.
So the 38 will clear the spoons and the stock calipers?
<----needs to be double sure

Yes, they will fit. Some owners have reported a slight rubbing in the rear, some have not. I'm of the opinion that it's dependent upon the tire that's being run, width, and what type of a shoulder the tire has.

I have the 38's. With the spoon's also. No problems clearing the calipers but i rub in the rear (slightly lowered). Some people have rolled their fenders as a fix.
+38 shouldn't be a problem.
I'm running 15x7.5, +40 offset wheels without any issues. Wider track =
My next intended wheel is 15x8, +27. 
BUT since you mentioned toyota - I thought their bolt pattern in in 5-lug is 5x100. BE CAREFUL. Itr's are 5x114.3.

Yeah I checked before I bought them. They were on a MR2 apparently and they are 5 by 114.3
I got the wheels at a steal....almost brand new.
