Spoon Twin-Block Brake Caliper Wheel Clearance List
Re: Spoon Brake Caliper Wheel Clearance List
Ok so update here
I got Rota Slipstreams 16x7s with 45 offset and the twinblock calipers
Any idea on a good spacer for it? Otherwise will do some measurements and let the group know

The Spoon SW88's in 16x7'' +45 clear. Rota 15x7's cleared, but I forget if they were +45 or +42. The easy test will be to test mount and inspect clearance.

It takes a 10mm spacer to clear - sad but true

The JDM 96 spec 15” wheels (4x114.3) fit over twinblocks with a 15mm spacer, plenty of clearance so could maybe get away with 13 or maybe even 12mm.

Also, slightly off topic… if anyone has a pic of the oem spring clip mod for these I’d much appreciate it
I’ve found some snippets of info on other forums but failing to find the nugget I’m after due to old dead picture links.
Just trying to get rid or at least reduce the floating pad chatter (regretting my choice of grooved and drilled discs now atm).

Added to the first page, thank you for contributing this knowledge.
I understand the ask, as the lack of spring clip in my Spoon Twinblocks led to pad chatter. However, my track pads made more noise, so I didn't do that mod. The noise got worse when I went to a BBK.

Re: Spoon Twin-Block Brake Caliper Wheel Clearance List
Does anybody have an idea on the size of spacer for UKDM 15"s?
