    That would be interesting to see.

    My SRT6 came with 18 inchers in the front and 19s out back.

    As a DD, I went through a lot of TOYO Proxes (T1R) during the 82k miles I put on the car.

    Sizes: 225-40ZR18 and 275- 35ZR19

    Wheels should be done by early March. 18x8.5 front and 19x10 rear. Not going with very aggressive offsets and I think it will be very clean. Forged monoblock in a clean 5 spoke design. (235/40/18 and 285/30/19 is what I am leaning towards but will finalize once wheels are o the car and check fitment.

    Thanks for sharing the specs.

    Do you think 11in width with et 35 rear wheel will fit on the rear? or will it poke out too much? It's 17mm more outward based on offset difference.

    Im also impressed that you fit 265 tiles on 11in wheels. How much space do you have between the suspension and inner wheel lip?

    Won't fit, michelins run wide so they aren't stretched.

    Hi mate, Is this at full compression? and did you remove any material from the rim mounting face?. Have you had any problems with tyre contacting the fender?.

    yes this was just us looking at how low the stock coils would go. Car rides much higher than that picture. No material was removed from the wheels since they were custom made for the car so there would be no reason to do something like that.
    ZERO RUBBING on the tire even on full lock to lock.

    Update. Well, the Image wheels arrived and sad to say the quality was that bad they went back for full refund.
    Now sourcing wheels at Forgeline, which is what I should have done in the first place.
    I don't mind paying for quality and looking at youtube and reading reviews, they seem to know their stuff.
    I will post some pictures at some point. They are due in about 8 weeks.

    Finally picked up my new wheels for the 348. Forgeline SP3S 19 inch. Sorting wheel bolts at the moment so only pictures I have are in my garage. Hoping for a break in the weather to get some better pictures soon. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    IMO: best looking rims on a Ferrari 348 are Ferrari 360 rims

    Or 355 wheels can discount 430 wheels either

    My opinion... I have 355 wheels with 15mm spacers but I think 360 wheels with backspacing milled 17mm off look better. Without milling them the 355 wheels and spacers definitely look better. If one likes 19" wheels 430 milled look the best. Just one opinion others may think otherwise and that's fine.

    For 360 wheels you need the right tire, the right ride height and the right offset which only happens through machining. When done right its I think the best wheel. It's almost never done right.

    Anyone know if 18 inch wheels can be used with no modifications? Also if anyone can comment on if 18 inch wheels cause damage when turning or bottoming out? I don't push my 348 but like the idea of 18 inch wheels. any comments/advice much appreciated.

    I'm soon to be machining my 360 starfish wheels.
    Does your 17mm recommendation apply to all 4 corners?
    Most the threads I've found seem to be addressing the rear wheels only.
    Thanks
