    Affirmative, the NF2 wheels for the 360 and 575M are 9" F, 12.5" R, 19" diameter, for the F430, fronts are the same, but the rears are 12" x 20".

    Not looking forward to hoisting them with tires. Those rears are massive.

    Chris- Make sure you pick up two of Sticky RX's wheel mount bolts. They make it a whole lot easier than holding up the wheel/tire with your knees and trying thread a bolt.

    Turning them in a drill press is much more work than I thought, it's about 3mm to take off. Hill really should do something about this.
    A better solution is to buy 14mm x 1.5mm pitch, low profile, wheel bolts. They are 10.9 grade and chrome finished. A full set was $18 from Set Group USA.

    Good info. I had a set of bolts from a worthless used set of HRE spacers (threads directly in the aluminum and thus cross-threaded) that had smaller heads, so we used those.
