Thank you sir!

Any info on desmond regamasters evo wheels? Or are they the same specs as the Spoon sw388's? I get confused with all these different names.

They are identical. Desmond made the wheels for Spoon.

Does the spare clear? No one has ever mentioned if the spare space saver wheel clears the spoon twin blocks. Would hate to find out it doesn’t when trying to service a flat. I might have to give it a try next time I rotate my wheels.

Going to be trying the SSR Type C 15x7 +42 with mini cooper rotors sometime soon on my 4x100 integra

I am dreading that I may need extended studs and the use of a larger spacer for them to clear, though the 23t bracket + Acura CL Calipers currently on clear without issues.

The offsets between 4x100 vs 5x114 cars seem different from the ITRs track width differences. One guy claimed they fit without spacers on an 96 spec 4x114 setup on an EG hatch with the same wheels, but everytime I would ask for pictures of the clearances, on the NWP4life facebook group, he seemed to ignore me. The 15x7 Type C looks like the the 4x100/5x100/4x114 came from the same wheel blanks before they drilled for the bolt pattern based on the wheel stampings, so I am hoping that 3 mm spacer would give me just enough clearance. My guess with the 5mm track difference between the ITR and the non-ITR, if that guys 4x114 15x7 +42 set cleared, gives me a hope that the smallest spacer should work...

If and when ICB re-releases 15'' options I will have Matt check twin and mono block calipers.

I have never tested but the OEM wheels clear which is a good sign. I will ask another local community member if he can test.

Let's test and document. I would rather not have someone in the community go through the experience of wheels not clearing and possibly being stranded. We have the following as a starting point:

Rims that clear without a spacer:
15"
SSR Competition [15x7.5, +43 offset]
SSR Type C [15x7, +38 offset]

Updates on re-release of Desmond Evo II and Spoon SW388’s

I have asked Matt to sync on clearances of Twin/Mono/BBK’s.

Wow, `I was worried 15x8 wasn't going to be made as I remember seeing posts that 15x6.5 was coming out which seemed disappointing to see a rerelease in such a narrow width.
