Looking at these as possible new forks for a build. My current pike(on hardtail) are 120mm 42mm offset.

These will go on a full sus frame I need 150mm these are oe B1 variant.

Any potential issues ?

46mm is standard offset for 27.5.

You’ll make the front feel less twitchy than your current forks, could improve it!

Opposite way round actually... Increasing the offset will decrease the trail slightly, making it a little twitchier at speed, though a tiny bit more agile at low speeds.
