Hi,
After some advice, I recently got a set of 15 x 7 +35 enkei rfp1's for my NB8B (late 2000). They fit, but the clearance to the brake calipers is only 2-3mm, is this going to be a problem? Thanks.

Nope. Clearance is clearance. Plenty of others running rpf1s on NBB brakes for memory.
If you worried though you could give them away to a helpful soul

This is interesting because Goodwin Racing suggests that 15" RPF1's don't fit USDM NB "Sport" brakes, which I believe are the same as our regular NB8B brakes.

Nope will not be a problem at all.
2-3mm clearance is usual between calipers and wheels on a lot of cars these days.
