Hi there.
I'm ever so close to purchasing a set of Spoon SW888's in 15x6.5 ET42. I'm currently running EK9 Racebase Steelies, which I believe are 15x5.5 and ET50?
Firstly from my research I believe the SW's should sit a little wider due to the lower offset and the extra inch width? I plan to run the same tyre size as I currently do (195/55/15), but an considering running 195/50/15 due to the slighly smaller sidewall. What are peoples preference here?
I considered 205/50/15 also, but dont want and rubbing to introduce any rubbing due to width.
I should note the car runs standard EK9 suspension currently.
Anyway back to the main question at hand, do anyone know what clearance you need to run Spoon calipers? Im going to be grabbing a set soon, but want to be sure that ET42 wheels will clear them.
Also on a (further) side note, are the Spoon calipers maintenance free (sealed units?). I remember when I had some 4 pots for my old car, I went for Wilwood Midilites as they required no regular servicing. Ideally I would want the same from the Spoon units.
Thanks in advance,
Rush
