    Another issue is tires... 18" tires are creap because they are made in large numbers, and there are many brands to choose from. Not sure how it is to buy 17" or 19"

    I only drives my 348 in dry weather and have mounted 265/35-18 Federal 595 RS-R semi-slicks... Very impressed by the handling :)

    style wise it does look good

    The car will ride like a go cart with that lower side wall....fine for the track but less desirable for the street.....affect the handling in real world street driving.

    If you play with the coil heights and spacers you can make
    the 18 or 19 inch look similar.

    Bump. Yes its and old post but cars with "hot wheels" look (10 years after the initial comments about that in this thread) has become pretty darn standard so I am curious to hear what current thought are on 18 vs 19 wheels these days.

    I purchased the car with 19" wheels on it and have since put on these which are 18". The 348 is a great looking car that either size seems to look good. As for handling, I prefer the 18's......

    I still think an 18 is as big as you should go on a 348/355 and that will never change. Anything more just doesn’t look right.

    Mind telling me the specs on your set up?
    Width, offset and tire sizes. Looks perfect

    Nice. Wheels look similar to old school AMG Pentas or Ronal Gottis.

    Suspension setup? Kw?

    99% correct! [Take away the shields and it will be the perfect 348, IMHO] :) ;)

    All this bickering between 18s vs 19s...
    I'm just going to run double staggered. :cool:
    Stay tuned.

    Staggered 19 and 18 may look good actually. I actually think 360 wheels look great the issue is the offset is well... less than optimal. So I got 360 wheels and will have all 4 machined for offset according to my CAD calculations, use optimum tires for 348 so I don't scrape everywhere, adjust rear suspension down few mm and close the gap a bit yet maintain factory ride height, then powdercoat and clear the wheels. We'll see how good 360 wheels can look. :)
