Mondial T wheels on a Mondial 8?

Will the wheels off of a 1990 Mondial T be a direct fit on a 1982 Mondial 8? The wheels in question are on ebay. Thanks, george

I can't say for absolute certain, but my guess is about 90% certain that the wheels will plug-n-play on an M8.

Birdman -

How about those wheels you have in FerrariAds? Plug n play for a 1982 Mondial?

 

Nope, the 308 has completely different offsets. If you put those 308 wheels on a Mondial, they will stick out like an inch past the fender and look totally goofy! Not to mention your scrub radius will be all wrong and the car will steer funny.

Superformance does now make a set of reproduction Mondial wheels in 16" to replace the TRX wheels and they are fairly cheap and good. Second one down on this page:

I am 99% certian they are direct bolt on. The 86 version of the Mondial wheels bolted right onto my Mondial 8.
AND they look great.

 

Mondial t wheels = Mondial 3.2 wheels
Direct bolt up to all Mondials (except 4 cyl. Mondial 500) - I have pictures at home

 

Great. I was concerned that the ABS on the 1990 Mondial T would mess-up the wheel fitting for a Mondial 8.

Many thanks.

 

Nope, direct bolt-on. It'll make the car look "modern." <very big grin>

did exactly this on my car, look great and transforms the ride, 100% straight bolt-on. Plus a bonus...no more TRX's

 

same here for my Qv, the Trx's are so darn expensive here in the Uk it worked out cheaper to buy a set of used T rims and tyres for it

 

Were you able to use the same lug bolts?

 

Pete & Jeff (sounds like a DJ duo )

Have you pics of your Mondy's with the T wheels?

Cheers.

 

st. tully came by and we compared my t Coupe bolts to his 8 bolts. Identical.

Are my t Coupe wheels really the same as 3.2 wheels?

-Peter

 

If they are 16" wheels im sure they are.

 

yes, I think. Identical look, identical spec tires, identical ABS offsets for the 16" wheels.

 

here ya go!

Guys,

I've been running around for the last 12m with a set of Mondial T wheels on my Mondial 3.0 QV (1983 model). Straight bolt on and a new set of Goodyear F1's - transformed the looks/handling of the car.

Oh - same wheel bolts used, same offset as old TRX wheels so they don't poke out of the wheel arches and the gearing is more- or-less the same. The only downside is the front f the car is lower and can catch a few more speed bumps than before.

 

They do look loads better.
