Default caliper clearance: 15x6.5 sw388 vs. 15x7 regamaster

i am just curious if there is more clearance for the calipers on the 15x7 evo's? i know the 15" sw388 will not clear spoon calipers, but they are 6.5" wide.

i dont have spoon calipers but i am planning on a set of regamaster evos and i was just curious if i would have the option to run bigger calipers without spacers if i wanted to. thanks

Do they make a 15x7 Evo now?

i am 100percent sure they make a 15x7 in 4x100... but it would make sense if they didnt make a 15x7 5lug, which might explain why i am confused.
does anyone know?

The Desmond/Regamaster website doesn't list a 15x7 5x114.3 wheel.

from the pics on that site it seems most of the wheels i have seen that claimed to be gunmetal are actually silver. the allmighty grey does look really dark and green in that pic.

thats my point, these look silver according to the desmond website. i have never seen a set of regamasters for sale that was advertized as silver.

does the sticker say the color code somewhere on the wheel?

Those are both Gunmetal Evo's under different light conditions.

It looks light GM when it's dark outside. When it's sunny, the wheels look greenish silver.

And, just like you said there are only 15x7" in 4x100. 5lug has only 15x6.5", which will not clear spoon calipers.
