15mm spacers with extended studs, 8mm in rear, with stock studs.

Actually, with the "tuner" style lugnuts, with the 60* end, you get more than 12 threads.

Since the CCW are custom made wheels, then why not have them make it with an offset that doesn't require spacers?

Because the offset doesn't detemine brake caliper clearance.

The offset determines the size of the hoops matched to the center piece of the wheel, but won't necessarily determine the thickness of the spokes and the back spacing from the mounting suface of the center piece to the back side of the spokes at the given radius where they meet the calipers. There are minimum requirements that must be met for a wheel to be certified by various sanctioning bodies as well as what the manufacturer deems necessary for strength.

It looks awesome Ruben! Thanks for stopping by today. I'll have what you need tomorrow!

Another answer to the "who not different offset and now spacers" question is this - by the design and manufacturing process of the CCW wheels, the center sections can only have a certain amount of offset built into them (horizontal distance from hub mounting face to where they bolt to the rim sections). If you notice, every CCW you see, no matter the size or offset, the center section is pretty flat. Due to the machining/design, they can't get enough clearance behind the spokes without spacers. . .

Yeah, the strength is in the spoke design as well as the barrel.

Aloso the pad mount. some have a high or low pad mount surface. Each application is different. Before the evo and sti's, Brembo being offered as OEM wasnt expected so the now offered high pad mount is what you want. if not spacers are your friends.

Thanks Mike. Your the man.
