Caleb,

The part#s you give are *exactly* what I put on my '85 Mondial Cab. I measured from wheel centerline on the original metrics and then the 16" set to a reference point on the frame and the sets were exactly the same on the rear and within 2mm on the front.

1988.5 and 1989 328 wheels may be very similar to the Mondial t wheels. When the 328's switched over to the ABS system, many of the components were from the Mondials.

Thanks Brian. I do not want to have to purchase spacers, lug nuts, etc. in order for replacement wheels to work. It seems I have read several posts here indicating that ABS fitted 328 wheels (1989 and beyond?)are a match. As well, I read a post here wherein somebody said the '89 Mondial t wheels are a perfect match. Anybody else?

I am not sure if the "t" wheels will clear things like the calipers, shocks/springs, or control arms. The bolt pattern is the same. If they do physically fit, you will most likely need new lug bolts and possibly spacers for the wheels.
I have seen 348 wheels on a 3.2 Mondial, but do not remember the specifics of what was required to make it work.

I have Ferrari Original Equipment 390mm wheels on my '81 Mondial 8. I'd like to replace with Ferrari Original Equipment from another model(s). Can anyone tell me unequivocally whether or not wheels from an '89 Mondial T(Part #'s: Front= 138857 / Rear=137087) will fit. I have access to a good set pretty cheap. If not these, then from what other model(s) can I get a properly fitting wheel. I don't want aftermarket and I certainly don't want to spend for new. I'm brand new to FC but have read many of your communiques with great interest. You guys rock. The level of knowledge about, and committment to, the marque is outstanding. I feel alot of love in the room. Can somebody give me the straight dope?
Many Thanks,
Lebbish
