    16x8, et 15 on an NB?

    Anyone fit 16x8+15 wheels on their NB? Just curious. I have a fender roller, just wanted to know if they would fit with a 205-45-16 tire.

    Fender roll? Yes in my opinion. I'm running 205/50-15 on 15x8 +25. I'm right on the outer lip if I lower it. Slight roll needed but my ride height is stock so I really don't need a roll at the moment.

    I have 16x8 +13 with 205/45/16 S.Drive tires.

    Will need that fender roll and some trimming of the front fender liners. Maybe some trimming of the metal bracket that connects the fender and front bumper. I did it just as a precaution.
