I got some 20'' wheels for my F430 Spider. 8,5'' fronts and 11,5'' rears. What tire-setups are you guys running on your 20''?
Remi- You need tires that are about 25.20" F and 26.85" R. Looking at Tire Rack's web site and hunting for Michelin Pilot Super Sports, the best street tire for Ferraris right now, looks like 235/30 20 F (25.6") and 305/30 20 (27.2").
Taz's suggestion is the "correct" size for the wheel widths you listed. I have 325/25/20s in the rear (another popular size for 430s running 20" wheels), but recommended for 12" wide rims or wider.
I have 20" wheels being made for my F430.. I don't recall exact tires size.. I think front was 235/30/20" for wheel 8.5" wide and the rears 325/25/20" for rear wheel 12" wide
I have 20 setups and ended up running 305 in the rear since the 325 was giving me a Buncha suspension related lights on heavy acceleration.
Remi- To answer your question, no, circumference will not affect anything except speedometer and odometer accuracy, as long as clearance is not an issue. What the ABS/stability control system does care about, though, is maintaining the same front to rear differential in tire diameters. Get that wrong and you can get all kinds of ABS/stability control related lamps. The combination I recommended maintained the OEM F-R differential within ~1%, and problems do not normally occur until ~4-5% is reached.
I can't imagine running 20" wheels on my 430 here in the northeast. You guys are lucky you have good roads where you are. I'd be going through tires and rims like crazy.
correct me if I am wrong but I think a 20" forged wheel is stronger then a 19" cast factory wheel... at least this is what a wheel company had told me..but I agree on the roads,, I am not looking forward to having my F430 here on LI roads, and don't the newer Porsche's have 20" and larger wheels?
I don’t think the lug pattern is the same. I know wheels for the 360 and 430 are interchangeable, but haven’t read that they could be used on other models or vise Versa Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
thats probably right. i might have to get new wheels and just use the tires. wonder if i can find wheels that can do the trick

I don’t, and couldn’t find that info anywhere. You might give that company that installed them a call. They pretty much handle all the exotics around here, and would know. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
