NB Sport Brakes & 15 inch Rota RB wheels - BEWARE!
Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 5:54 pm
Hi guys,
FYI - Just found out that 15 inch Rota RB wheels do not fit over NB sport brakes without running a spacer.
The wheels have enough radial clearance around the rim, but the spokes of the wheel impact the front of the caliper. A spacer would correct the problem. 5mm may be enough, and 10mm would be heaps.
I doubt that offset would not matter with these wheels - you would still have the same clearance problems regardless of the offset due to the design of the Rota RB wheel centre. That said, and just in case any of you are interested in trying to confirm this for yourself, the wheels I tried are 15x7 ET35.
