Steven,
Yes the bolt pattern is the same. As far as offset, I believe it is the same. I spoke to one of the owners who had these wheels on his 246 and he claimed they bolted right up. You may need different lug bolts though; I just don't know if the QV wheels are thicker of thinner at the mounting point. |

Thanks guys.
Adam-how much are you asking for the speedo? I'm interested. How is your electrical system holding up?
David- do standard QV wheels (or replicas) have the same bolt pattern and offset as mine? |

BF goodrich G Force's come in 14's i think, so do kumho dot tires and hoiser dot tires, but dont expect more than a few thousand miles out of them. |

I have seen 246's with 16" QV wheels, and they looked great. These are 7" wide in front and 8" wide in back. So 205-55 front tires and 225-50 rears work. There are now replica QV wheels available for about $1800. Then you can get many different performance tires. I had 14" rims on my 308, and there really is nothing very sticky available in that size and 70 series profile... |

Solly maybe best to get a second set of wheels. Maybe 16" that fit your car. Tough call can not say if they'll fit.
For track you just slap those one and drive and not have to worry about the wheels get banged up etc. |

Steve; Check Tirerack.com or call Euro-Tire in Fairfield in NJ, they know Ferrari tires inside and out, If you call Euro-Tire ask for Bill. BTW did you ever get your speedo fixed, or do you still need the NOS that I have. |

I have 14" Campagnolos on my 246 and want a good high speed tire for track/road use (not slicks). Seems like there are few choices in 14". Currently have Pirelli 4000 but these are not ideal speed tires. Any suggestions? |
