Your choice of spsample(..., type="regular") in sp, then convert using 
gridded() and fullgrid(), or Sobj_SpatialGrid() in maptools. If you need 
precise control over the placing of the grid, use GridTopology() to 
construct it by hand before SpatialGrid, based on your choice of the south 
wset cell centre.
