Can you run 275/38/18 on the rear with 15mm spacers on the back. I present I have 265/40/18. Looking at 275/40/18 they seem to be close to the wheel arch. I am not really to sure though... | ||

The difference in ride height will be 1cm lower with 275/35s... With 275/40s it'll be 0.4cm taller... | ||

Jeff: The 274/35 are smaller than the factory 265/40 by over 1 inch. This will lower the rear of the car. The alternate 274/40 is only 0.1" taller than stock. S03s's are so much better than the S02PPs that it will make your head spin. | ||

I'm thinking about buying 275/35/18 for the rear and 225/40/18 for the front Bridgestone S03's what do you think? | ||

Thanks for checking out my page, DES. Not only is Willis correct, but it is quite a car! This is Don's 246 Dino. Cars and flairs car. Very rare. Yes I have great stories about my first show. The last one was much smoother though! I'll tell you all the stories over cool beverages when you come to the Memphis Ferrari's for Kids show on Fathers' day! J | ||

Jeff, not to go off topic, but i was browsing your web page, looking at all the different pictures of your nice car and i came across the picture below with the four Ferraris... i really like the silver one, can you tell me what it is...? Any neat stories behind your first car show...? (i had to crop the picture as the whole thing was too big and would not upload into the post.)  | ||

Factory sizes are 255/40Zr18 front and 265/40Zr18 rear. several P-cars use 265/35Zr18s making these easy to come by, but beware, these tires are just over 1" less tall than the 265/40zr18s, causing the rear of the car to run low. Another choice is the 275/40zr18s which are only 0.1" taller than factory. For My F355 I am using 225/40zr18 and 275/40zr18 shod with Bridgestone S03s. The S03s are mucho better than the S02s they replaced. | ||

I'm also looking at tires for my 355 this spring. The tire that keeps getting recommmended to me is the BF Goodrich G-Force TA KD, The KD is for dry the KDW is for wet/dry. I have used G-force track tires for my C-5 Vette and they stuck well. This tire is supposed to be close to that but streetable. I'm open for ideas as well. | ||

I've decided yo drive the 348TT back to Memphis with either one tire of my chosen brand, or just a takeoff to get me here, then take my time and research the final tire decision. I want to be able to have the wheels refinished while the rubber is off. The car has 355 wheels so, I'll need 355 size "shoes". Keep in mind, I'll be driving this car on sunny days only, never in the rain, (unless I'm cought out when a shower passes). What can you recommend? Something extra sticky. Thanks for the input. |
