mattausten23 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Hey I was wondering if anyone is running XXR 501s? I was going to go with the 002s but I fell in love with the SSR XR4s and since those are hard to come by I thought 501s were a good alternative. I want to run the 16X8s. Is it possible? I would like to see some pics! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calpoly-z Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Does it come in a 0 or near 0 offset? I run the 002s on my 280 without any issues. These are 0 offset wheels though. If the 501s are not 0 offset then they can probably be used but will require spacers. Is the bolt pattern correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think they do require a spacer because they have +15 offset i believe. How do you like your 002s? Those were my first choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComicArtist Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 There's actually a guy in my apartment complex with the 16x8 501's on the rear of his 240z. Doesn't look bad, a little too blingy for me though. I prefer the way a 15 looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattausten23 Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Do you have a pic of them?haha Im just trying to decide if I should go 501 or 002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComicArtist Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 It's dark right now but I'll go over there tomorrow and snap a pic. I personally like the 002's better, but that's just me. Plus they make them in a 15x9 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattausten23 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) It's dark right now but I'll go over there tomorrow and snap a pic. I personally like the 002's better, but that's just me. Plus they make them in a 15x9 lol I saw some 002s on a 240sx today. I think that is the route I'm going. I just really like the look of the SSR longchamps and thought the 501s were similar, but I'm going 002s since I can get them in 15x9! I want to stagger them. I would have to get the 0 offset right? Also would I have to make any mods to run 9 inch wide in the rear? I'm stock everything right now. I would still like to see that pic of the 501s if your snapped it though! Thanks!

ComicArtist Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I'll snap a pic today of the 501's. You should be able to fit 9's with a 0 offset in rear and front without a problem. If you roll the fenders slightly and don't run wider than a 205 tire they should tuck nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComicArtist Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Here's the guy's down the street. I haven't talked to him about it yet. Haven't even met the guy. Has a lot of exterior rust, so I can only imagine what the undercarriage looks like. Sounds heavenly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComicArtist Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Sweet man! Post pics when you get them. I'm looking at getting the Rota Shakotans in 15x9 either -10 or -15. Looking forward to seeing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModernS30 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I actually really like those 501's! I kinda think I might sell my 002's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
