NB sport brakes clear 15x7 et27 Watanabe RS8 when installed on an NA?

[Professor Dwight]

Wanna upgrade 1.6 pots to 1.8 sports if possible.

I have 15x7 SSR Comps (known OK to fit) but they don't really match the style I am shooting for.

Realize its' a bit of a long shot, but anybody have any experience with the 15x7 et27 Watanabe RS8 fitment over NB sport brakes?

@HarryB has 15x7 RS8s and Sport brakes, but his car is NB. Don’t think there’s any difference in fitment for NAs.

Can confirm they fit, you can see pics on my build thread. Fronts were closer to what I wanted to the caliper carrier, so for piece of mind I run 3mm spacers all around, but I have used the car for short distance driving without them and it is still OK

Thank you!

Wait a second: Sport brakes are bigger than standard 1.8 NA/NB brakes...

That’s what I was asking...

Will the larger NB *sport* brakes (brackets, calipers, rotors) when bolted-up to an NA6 clear the Wats?

NA6 with sport brakes should be the same with a NB2 with sport brakes; so the answer is yes. Mine is a NB2 with sport brakes, and the exact same wheels fit fine.

Ahhh...sorry. I was misunderstanding. For some reason, I was thinking you hadn't confirmed having Sport brakes :oops:
