Default Caliper/Wheel Setup Question...

I've been in the market for some new wheels for my car and I am having a hard time trying to figure out which wheel will fit. My setup is as follows:

1996 Civic Coupe
H&R 5mm Inner Wheel Spacer
4H100 Spoon Sports Front Rotors
Spoon Sports Calipers
Spoon Sports 16x7 4H100 +45 SW388 Wheels

My question is this, do I have to get a wheel that is a 15x7 4H100 +45 wheel in order to clear the calipers as well? The reason I ask is because I tried a friend's 15x6.5 4H100 +45 Regamaster EVO Wheel and it did not clear the caliper.

Are there 15x7 4H100 +45 wheels out there?
Am I stuck with a 16x7 wheel?

Any Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks, Cesar.

Kosai K1's come in 15x7 45mm offset. Have you tried any other offset than +45? With the 5mm spacer you're at +40mm offset. Maybe see if you can find a 15x6.5 in +40mm and keep the spacer (+35mm), or just a 15x7 with +38mm

There's more to it than offset though, with those calipers you might not fit any 15" rim.

They fit and look great!

Note to all, Yokohoma Super Advan SA3R 15X6.5, 4X100, +42 Offset fit my setup just incase anybody ever runs into the same problem. Thanks, Rich.
