    Put my wheel spacers on my 348 today. I tend to think the rears are too much. I did 15mm in the front and 25mm in the rear. After I got them installed I tend to think maybe 8 mm in the front and maybe around 15 mm in the rear would be better? I have seen piuctures and several have suggested the 15 and 25. So I did the 15 and 25. If I would do it again I would probably consider less. I'll do a write up soon with pictures.

    I also just fitted 25mm rear wheel spacers mate. :) I reckon they look great and fill the rear gaurds out perfectly. I have not taken the car for a drive yet, but will hopefully do so in the next week or so. I also have pics, but I will wait till you post yours buddy. :) What do you think of the spacers? Did they change the cars handling characteristics? :):)

    25mm is what Ferrari added to the rear wheels of some later model 348's.

    Rodney - It's all about the tires. Square shoulder tires (P zero) look fantastic with 25mm. A more rounded shoulder (like my old Sumitomos) make them look a bit too wide. What kind of shoes are you running?

    Yeah looks great! Doesn't stick out anywhere near as much as 360 wheels for example.

    Here are some pics of my wheel spacers fitted. :):)
    I have yet to take the car for a drive, so I cant comment on how the car now feels. But I think these spacers look great and fill up the rear wheel arches nicely! :):)
