(150 km/h)" Thats whats on the sticker. Tire is Michelin 105R18 and wheel is 3 1/4B*18.

Browse the '85-'89 328 catalog -- the 328 non-abs spare is PN 133737 (supercedes 127378) for L385.90 (it's item 9 in the list so you have to scroll down in the isoview list).

Maybe user error, dunno.

I am however quite sure about the 150 km/h I know the manuals says 80, but there is a sticker on the wheel saying differently.

I realize that is an option. My wheels are btw 16".

Maybe I need another 1 on 1 with Gilles27 and use his spare on my 308. A dealer once told me, that the 308 and 328 wheels are totally interchangeable. He said the ABS vs non ABS version only becomes an issue when you lower the car. Dunno whether that's true though.

Or run flat tires. Cars after 328's have spares in cans already, so no big deal. Dave Steve Magnusson (91tr) Intermediate Member Username: 91tr Post Number: 1366 Registered: 1-2001 Posted on Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 2:39 pm:    Kurt -- Are you sure about those 328 spare wheel specs? The various 328 OMs on the Owners Site seem to say the 328 spare rim is 3 1/4" x 18" (tire 105/80 R18) and the maximum speed is 50 mph (80 kph). Andreas -- It seems we still can't figure out if a regular 328 non-abs wheel fits a 308 and now you're asking about the 328 spare on a 308! My guess would be that the 328 non-abs vs 328 abs offset difference would also affect the spare so you may need to get the right flavor -- JeffUK's site lists them.

I have ordered from Ferraripartsexchange before, just didn't realize what FPE stands for. Not enough coffee I suppose. 150 km/h on a spare? Wow! I have barely touched that speed on four sound wheels. Time to go to a track...

Brian is a great source of information. I think Kurt answered your other question. Philip Kurt Kjelgaard (Kurtk328) Junior Member Username: Kurtk328 Post Number: 177 Registered: 3-2001 Posted on Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 11:07 am:    From memory: 18" by 4�" spare with a special Michelin tire. Maximum speed 150 km/h. On the rim is says "Dino" written in the familiar dino logotype (as on the car badges). Notice that this wheel is a substitute for a 16" 328 wheel - you might have 14" rims on your car?

What does it look like? Who/what is FPE, got an URL? Philip Airey (Pma1010) Junior Member Username: Pma1010 Post Number: 100 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 10:09 am:    Andreas, why not go for the Euro space saver spare. They are on eBay from time to time and several of the vendors used by many of us have them/can get them. Last time I checked, Brian Keegan at FPE had one. Andreas Forrer (Tifosi12) Member Username: Tifosi12 Post Number: 366 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 9:17 am:    Would a 328 spare tire fit a 308 and if so, could it be installed easily in the 308 bay? Anybody ever did that? Also where could I get a 328 spare or what would be its dimensions if I had one custom made? Just trying to add a bit more cargo space to my car.
