Hey,
I understand 15inch Simmons will not normally clear nb8b/se calipers.
Does anybody know how much clearance is required to make them fit?
Would FM's low profile bolt and a good amount of dish allow me to fit my dream wheels in a 15 inch size?
I'm hesitant to go with 16inch wheels because the range of rubber available isn't as good and there's always the weight issue.
I was hoping to end up with something like 15 x 7 +15 offset wheels.
Nick.

Hi,
I did try researching this issue and one of the yanky forums even have a thread with wheels proven to fit.
i didnt want to take the risk therefore went 16's cr kai.
tyre choice isnt bad i can get shitty tyres or good tyres.
best bet is to test fit the wheels and if it doesnt clear see if the it is the bolt thats the problem.
