I am looking to get a set of sportmax 501 15x8 within the next week or two.

 

check out tirerack.com , you can even call them too.

 

Tire Rack won't help for this...
No wheel calculator will say the 501 fits due to the offset... (it does fit though) Either size tire will work, 195 would give a slight stretch.

Uh, as far as lugs breaking, beats me, a spacer wouldn't affect that at all. Unless you used a universal spacer and didn't extend the studs. Get a set of OTG or Keoki hub spacers if you wanna push the back wheels out, it's safer.

 

i'm running the 15x8 501s with the stock 185/60/15 tires and with no spacers and they fit just fine. no problems at all. i could run on in the rear to bring the wheels more flush to the fender if i wanted too.

 

Yeah, try ordering a negative offset for a xB. They freak out on you. Then, try to go to a tire place and ask for 195's on a 8" wide rim. More freakage. Mine should be at my door from Japan end of this week, beginning of next. About time. Been waiting over 2 months.
