Always loved these wheels but I've never asked this question.
Anyone with ACTUAL experience of fitting these onto a NB8B or seeing these clear NB8B brakes in person?

My understanding of this is that they are designed specifically for this purpose.

Thanks Dann.
But I've also heard that 15*7 might have issues with NB8Bs. 15*7.5 would be ideal...
Again, looking for someone to say that they have SEEN in working in person.

6ul wheels.
Early release had an offset of +40
Later that was changed to +36 with the exception of the 15x10 which is + 25
These wheels will clear the "sports" brakes I'm insure if they will clear bbl kits without spacers though.

For the record the first production run included both +40 and +36.

Not sure of the difference in brakes from NB8A to NB8B with brakes
I have fitted 6UL 15 x 7.5 to my NB8A, fitted with 205-50-15 KU36's and no scraping or any other problems. The car has TEIN and has been lowered around 30-40mm, has increased neg camber but not massive
Have done Lakeside once on these 6UL's with no problems

Yes they do. I have just had a set of NB8B SE brakes installed on to my NA with the same wheels (photos in my garage thread)
