...or you may have no problems at all since you are getting a set of lugbolts. Just give it a try. Good luck. | ||

Okay, so spacers would take up the room instead of shorter lug bolts....someone on another thread said they could get (i think) Koenig lug bolts for 10 dollars each..........this may be a dumb question, but could I just cut (1/4 inch or whatever I'd need to cut) off the lug and still use what I have.......... The wheels I'm looking at come with a set of Speedline lug bolts.....if I kept my stock, I wonder if I could cut the speedlines............what do ya think? | ||

If shouldnt be confusing. If your car has the original Speciale wheels then you will need shorter lugbolts for the rear definitely (plan on spending ~$300-400 for shorter chrome Ferrari lugbolts). A cheaper alternative is to get a set of spacers (which is what I'm in the process of doing). Upgrading to 18" wheels makes a huge difference to the handling the car. You'll love it. | ||

Noelrp - who do you know in Minnesota that has a Speciale? I know of only 3 348's in Minnesota and only one black Speciale but it doesnt have 355 wheels. Would be interested to get the guys name. | ||

Philip, It may not be a direct fit due to your wider track wheels. I know a guy in MN who has a Speciale (#44 I believe) that bought a set of 355 stock wheels. He said he needed shorter lugbolts for the rear. | ||

philip - They work just fine. You can bolt them on without a problem as I have. Just look at my profile. | ||

Thanks Byron, This subject does get confusing.....especially with the Speciale........I didn't know if the 355 CH were the same as 355 stock........I'm new to this whole thing.........but it sounds like I can get these wheels with confidence.......thanks for your help. | ||
