Will the 15x7" Mazdaspeed MS-03 rims fit over NB8B brakes that have been fitted to an NA6?

Simple question really, hope some one can help out?

Cheers Josh

Doesn't sound like a simple question though....!

So I take it your someone who has not done this and has no idea about my question....

But thanks for your imput any way.

It seems simple enough to me, basically has anyone fitted these rims on a NB8B/C without them hitting the brakes

Here is a more easy question, will nb8a wheels fit nb8b brakes, if so... they probably can fit.

credibility: I have ms03 wheels.

well, not so simple. The problem here is the clearance of the caliper, rather than the disc. There are certain 15 inch wheels which would not clear the chunkier calipers. I think the RPF1 15' does not clear. I think this would possibly depend on the offset (correct me if i'm wrong) and how the wheel spoke is designed.

I think Fuzzlet runs MS01's on his SE, so assuming the internal structure of the Mazdaspeed wheels is similar then the answer might be yes. I'd be interested to know what you find out about the clearance on the MS03's as well, as i need to upgrade my brakes sometime.

yes they will fit. nb8b brake ain't that big.

Yep, they fit.

Yep I use MS-01s for thr track, and they clear the caliper by around 2 - 3mm, if that
