15x8 6UL wheels fitment on NX
I am looking at getting 6UL wheels 15x8 for my NX2000 (to hold 205/50/15 NT01), I had few questions:

1. Would I really need the 1/4" spacer in the rear and will that work without extending my lugs?

2. What other issues I might encounter with this combo? I know I have to be ready to massage my fenders and get ready to remove my wheel well liner...

Any pictures would be appreciated, I have seen 15x8ul's on classic but not the NX.

Thanks.

First and most important question is - What suspension are you running? You can definitely run that combo on the rear of an NX if you have coilovers, I can't comment on standard struts. I ran that exact combo in the rear along with a 225/45-15 NT01 in the front with no clearance issues using Progress coilovers on my NX. No spacers required. The 225's rub on the rear struts, would need a 5 mm spacer.

Like I said with coilovers you won't have a problem. Now on struts the max spacer id put is a 5mm anything more then that and you'll have to put extended lugs.

I would use extended studs for any spacer if it was me.

Isn't that first picture a front?

I wish I had all my parts to snap a shot for you. I was able to snag Emilios last set of bronze 6ULs (Gen 2) and I'm waiting on my ARP extended studs and 15mm spacers. I did a test fit with my 5mm spacers in the rear and no tire on the wheel and its pretty close. With my current 15x7s on the car I can just barely squeeze my index finger between the strut and wheel. A 205 will fit but anything bigger will need more spacing. This is on Progress coils.

even with 15x7s and 225 45 15 hoosiers, we have to run 3mm spacers on the back of our p10.. but we found the car rotates better on the track and gets better lap times running 225 45 15s in front and 205 50 15s in back (no spacers needed then)

I'm running the 6UL on my B14 with no fitment issues and no wheel spacers. Never rubbed, never bottomed out, nothing. 225/50/15
