With a squeeze, you will have to butcher the shell...but if you get a LRP Sphere / Nosram then it all fits in cool. See my post near the bottom of the page:-

Yes...no problem. I run a XX4 as well as the 501x and change wheels over all the time.

Car is tough...but yes front / back shock towers can break like they do on all cars. As well as wishbones. There is no getting away from this, unless you drive very well!

Trev,

You have seen the way I drive my car, you have seen the abuse it takes!!

To date the only accident damaged parts on my 501 have been a wishbone and a front upright and thats it!!

If you want a run of mine tomorrow let me know and I will let you let you take it out for a spin.

No, I'm not getting a 501 I seem to remember someone saying, strange, could've sworn that someone was you!

Leigh , What are the blue alloy bits that people keep breaking, thought you had one of those go as well?

[TRF_Tastic]

No, not broken any blue alloy parts at all, you must have me confused with some other maniac.

Sorry mate my mistake, I saw it posted on here somewhare that folks were breaking a part, I think it's the U shaped part that the camber links go to?

I saw this 'upper arm mount' break as well....dunno who it was though.
