    I have a 1990 Mondial T here in the UK. I don't have a spare wheel for the car and I wanted to buy a simple steel wheel to use as a temporary spare in an emergency. I am planning a drive to Italy in June and a spare would be nice.

    Does anyone know which other manufacturer's wheels will fit the ferrari 5 bolt pattern? I have 205/55/16 on the fronts and 255/55/16 on the rears.

    Any ideas?

    I have ordered a Volvo V50 Spacesaver for emergency use. I will let you know how it fits.

    I have bought a spacesaver from superformance. Its a Volvo wheel with a spacer. It frees up space for extra spares and toolbox on my long trips.

    I’ve ordered a Volvo v50 space saver. Any information about the spacer would be very helpful.

    It might work without spacer.

    I am running on 348 wheels and it is a 348 space saver.
    Standard Mondial wheels have shorter bolts then 348.
    So I do not need an extra set of bolts, its a straight swap.

    I think it is a 25mm spacer but I will check it tonight.
    You will also have to check bolt length and brakecaliper clearance front and rear.

    you should be able to use any Volvo v50/40 spacer. Keep in mind that your bolts will be too long for this wheel and you will need either the thickness of the space to compensate or shorter bolts.

    Perhaps some pics of the ritual? :)

    And, for the Volvo spare,,,,,
    The center hole, for a concentric mount,,, is to small.
    I had it machined bigger,,, but what a pain.
    Dismount tire,,, set up the Fadal CNC machine..... etc.

    Yes and a spacer is needed in the tool bag,,, bolts too long.
    3/16” I’m guessing....

    Good luck.

    If you use a spacer you would not need to machine the spare wheel. In that case if it is a Volvo spacer you would need machine the spacer.

    This V40/50 set is 30mm and you can easily machine them out and have enough beef to keep the Volvo centric mount on it.

    MvT is right superformance spacer is 30mm but you would have to machine the back to fit on the Ferrari hub, press out the threaded studs and buy 5 348 bolts.
