Chris:

I only plan to go 2" (18") on the rims. Since Speedline is the OEM and they list these rimes under their guide for the 328, I hope this will help eliminate fitment problems.

Almost every time I went two inches higher than my current model I did regret it. The car will look very different and the focus will be on the rims, so you really have to like them, and the handling WILL change, maybe more than you will like. Also I found that the Ferrari may have visible room for bigger tires, the restriction comes when you turn the wheels or maybe the tires will rubb because the rims are too wide. Make sure that you check all those areas before committing to 4 or 5 grand.

I'm considering aftermarket 18" wheels. I am considering Speedline 2310SC's. See: http://www.speedlinecorse.com/eng/PostAuto.asp?marchio=FERRARI&modello=328 Anybody have pics of their cars with aftermarket wheels? I am sure the car will have to be lowered to look right. I am not a fan of butchering, and I would definitely like to be able to return everything back to stock if needed. Any other methods besides replacing the springs? Any source for springs, if that is the route I must go? I would appreciate any pictures so I can see how the car looks with wheels and/or lowered.
