You do need to watch widths and offsets, particularly in the rear. The wide wheels want to hit the springs. I currently have 8.5 front and 10.5 rear, but I had to move the lower shock mounts in the rear. I had 8 and 9 before, they don't hit if you pick the correct offset.

Ben,
Watch out for rim offset.
While Enzo mandated that all bolt-on Ferrari wheels would have a 113mm 5-hole pattern, he neglected to specify the offset.
Unlike most Ferraris, 308 rims have almost no offset. The archives indicate that 308's and the non-convex 328s have only an 11.5 mm offset.
The mondial rims are 45mm offset & convex 328 rims have 55mm offsets! Most modern cars have similar or even larger offsets!

Anyway I can see a photo of your car with 18s. I bet it looks killer. What width are they? Are the front and backs the same width. Do you think I should keep my 16" originals incase I decied to sell the car. Or will nice 18" rims keep the value the same?

308 hubs are 5 x 108mm bolt-circle (with a 67mm diameter pilot IIRC) |

Has anyone installed 17" or 18" rims on a 308? I have some 16" rims now and would like to move up to an aftermarket 17 or 18. Just wondering if they will fit. Also whats the bolt pattern on a ferrari308 im guessing 5-120mm. |
