Perfect 20/21 Wheel Set Up on a Ferrari F8

Love the deep dish look…really nice.
What tires did you go with?
Did you get the driver side wheels swapped out?

 

I'm sorry and I'm not trying to be mean but pics are posted to get opinions, right? good or bad. ... my opinion is I just don't get it. They look awful and I don't understand why people do this to Ferraris. People mention '4 wheel drive' all the time when referencing stock suspension and tires on Ferraris but what you did here is 4 wheel drive to me... the rears especially look like they're part of the rear quarter, just a different color. Looks non functional like the tire wont even spin. They're stuffed in there and stick out beyond the body panels. Sorry Marty

 

Can someone please translate this mess?

 

Yo, no hard feelings, but them pics be fo opinions, right? Good or bad. My take? Man, I just don’t vibe with it. They look trash can't wrap my head around why folks be messin’ with Ferraris like this. Urbody babblin' 'bout 4 wheel drive when talkin' stock parts, but what you did here screams white trash.. them back tires look like they'part o' da whip just a wonky shade. Looks like it don’t even work, rims ain't gonna spin. They crammed in there, stickin' out like like ye ye! Sorry, Marty

 

perfect. You translated it into hood rat for Eric. I can only assume a thug like Pdiddy owns that F8. It's got twice pipes and fuzzy dice in the mirror too

 

That was light version of hood rat...I could do full on street version but I'd be banned. LOL

 

What brand of tires? Pirelli P zero, Michelin PS4 ??? thnx I like the more rounded sidewall over tires that have the sharp built in curb protector in the sidewall. You're sidewalls in your pic looks rounded.... nice.

 

I like what @Marty305 did.... stock wheel design is nice and all to its own for the F8 but the height adjustment, wheel sizes, deeper dish look and offset look better than as delivered from the factory.

It is very interesting that Ferrari themselves portray how the F8 looks more to what Marty has done to his car. This photo is straight from the Ferrari.com website for the F8 Tributo. Makes sense to me.

Yeah. Marty did it right. His wheels makes the stock wheels look like they were ordered from wish.

 

That pic looks great— that other angle looked weird. Great job

 

Deep dish pizza for everyone.

 

Love the dish.... I had my HRE P107 done a little deeper dish that I just sold. Not sure what I am going to do or not do on my F8 yet.

 

Is there a ride quality difference from either going 20/21 wheel setup vs 21/22 setup? I see most websites that sell aftermarket wheels for the F8 go 21/22? Other than less rubber on the ground any performance differences?

 

how far did you lower the car? Novitec sport springs?

 

Yes. My car drove much better on 21/20 setup than my current 22/21 setup.

Rougher ride and more unsprung weight.

 

EVERYONE, going with a larger rear wheel.... BE VERY CAREFUL about keeping OVERALL diameter difference between front and rear in check ( close or at oem/stock specs).

If you do not do this, under hard acceleration or braking or cornering the traction control and ABS will not work properly and the ECU will see tires not spinning at the ECU calculated revolutions that stock/oem and the ECU will think the car is in a slide or losing traction. This can be a very dangerous situation.

.4" front to rear overall diameter is stock and what the ECU expects. You can deviate .1 to .2" front to rear overall diameter difference...... this just a few % and be OK.

Also larger rear overall diameter changes gear ratio as well and effects acceleration and shifting.

STOCK/OEM is
245-35-20 26.8" overall diameter
305-35-20 27.2" over all diameter

Keeping a stock oem front size and going with a 21" 30 series rear puts the front to rear overall diameter out of wack.

EXAMPLE:

• stock 245-35-20 front is 26.8"
• 21" rear 30 series 315-30-21 is 28.5" This is a rear OVERALL DIAMETER INCREASE of 1.7" more than stock OEM.....NOT GOOD- DANGEROUS

CORRECT 21" REAR SIZE should be 325/25/21 because it is 27.4" OVERALL DIAMETER. .2" bigger than OEM/Stock 20"

 

I keep it simple. I do stock and then I don't get all of this unwanted brain damage. Good PSA for those who do though.
