OG axis oldskool 15x8 +25 for NB8B...do they fit?

Postby linc » Sat Sep 01, 2012 2:00 am

Hi all
I've run a quick search but can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for so here goes....

Is anyone running og axis oldskools 15x8 +25 on a nb8b?

If so, do they just bolt on straight up no fuss? Or will they require spacers to clear the callipers?

Clears the calipers perfectly on an NB8A
Not certain about NB8B though.


And in case you're wondering, clears the guards easily with a 195 mounted, and apprently also does with a 205 (but I haven't tried that yet)

Thanks, that's handy to know as I will most likely go with 195's.

Yea I've heard they fit nicely on the nb8a but apparently the nb8b and newer have bigger callipers and rotors?
That's why I was wondering if there are any clearance issues.

Not the same diameter but I run 16x8 + 20, 205/45/r16.
They clear my brakes easily, you shouldn't need spacers.

As for guards, it'll scrub depending on whether you lower it or not (or how much you lower it by)

here's what mine look like fyi

I've already put 205s on one pair, and fitted them.
When I get a chance I'll do the other pair.

No lowering

That looks great!

If you don't mind can I ask where you got yours and how much?

I'm looking at JDMyard at the moment, selling OG san and OG oldskool in 15's for $720 a set.
