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.

Re: QUESTION: Will 15*7 6ULs +36 clear NB8B brakes
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.

Re: QUESTION: Will 15*7 6ULs +36 clear NB8B brakes
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)

No they won't fit......therefore you should sell them to me.
ps just in case they do fit......they should very nice on your 5.
