I'd jump straight to Novitec wheels ... myself, if you have not already done the conversion. See http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?p=134270067#post134270067 Pete's opinion
Nice !!!! My friends just order 360 wheels for $1600 with tires from ebay for his 308 cant wait to see them. Lamarossa
No offense intended, but I don't like the look of those wheels. It's no big deal, everyone has their own tastes.
Awesome! I hope you like it and they work out how you intended. Most importantly I hope they feel right to you. Isn't crazy how much lateral grip you just got? 360 wheels will NOT work on a 512TR, front is too narrow. Also the ideal tires to use are not the OEM 360 tires, due to overal diameter differences. The tires that you would use: 225/40-18 Front. Anything larger will not fit the 7.5 inch rim. As for the rears, the OEM rubber is a 255/50-16, and more then plenty, so a 255/40-18 would be ideal or 265/40-18 also would work nicely. If you want to go super wide, then a 285/35-18 would be better to buy then a 275/35, for keeping the overall diameter reasons. Note that going super wide in the back will slow your acceleration, 0-60, 1/4 etc times notably. The ones you are using are fine to run on, but when you buy new rubber consider swapping to the ideal size.... this is modified from what I stated here, since I updated my data of what I thought was the OEM rear tire size (I previously thought that the rear tire used was a 255/45-16, my mistake): http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=67331672&postcount=22 in this thread: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15988
Not really......there are very few ways to personalize a Ferrari without doing something that looks gaudy, or says, 'look at me,' (the same goes for many other cars). A change of wheels and tyres can be an understated improvement. Automobile designers don't always get everything right!
I hope he realizes that they're not just "bolt on" but will not only require spacers, but spring mods in the rear. There are many threads here on that topic...
360 wheels will NOT work on a 512TR, front is too narrow. You could have gone with 512 wheels that have a close look to what you have now but with the correct wheel and tire size, IMO.
Replaced my original 360 wheels with 19"/547 HRE's and just put the original 360's on my black 91 TR. Looks different, but a nice change, also painted the brake calibers red with white Ferrari logo. After a month or two I'll try the HRE's on the TR. It's great having two sets of wheels that fit both cars.
