+15 will be okay, rolling would be required.

I was thinking of +38 as I thought the +15 would hang otuside the guards.
so does the +15 need any guard rolling? (it's 15x8 +15 yeah?)
+15 does not hang out the guards, it works out to be flush on an NB. you will need to roll your guards, but thats all really. Yes they are 15x8 +15.

With my new black 6UL's. They're only +36 but they wearing 225/50/15 semi's slicks which are about 248mm wide. So they only JUST clear with a lot of camber.

I like those wheels, anybody have pics of them on an NB8A? preferably a darker coloured NB8A![]()
also, anybody have pics of the 501s in 15x7 +38? I want to see how much of a lip they have in that offset.
i was just about to upload some +15's for you, then read you wanted +38. if you like this wheel, i dont see why you shouldnt/wouldnt get the +15's, generally they work out being flush with the guard with very little camber/rolling etc. Its when you get to the big daddy 0 offsetters is when you need to play around to get good fitment.
anywhos, i got some pics up of the +15's, no one does the +38's on the mx.
Are the ones on the silver NB 15 inch ??? they look bigger than the others....
