    Got the improved spacer for my Ferrari 355 today. The new spacer takes care of the problem with the spacer not covering the rubber seal on the 355 rims. The spacer also fits nicely over the rubber guide on the hub making it unnecessary to remove these.
    Here a few picture of the installation, the spacers and the shiny new bolts.

    Many thanks to Paul at HE, for finally making a perfect 355 spacer!

    Now that is a thing of beauty!!!!! Those are first rate!! I also like how every other hole is larger to accomodate the rubber clad bolts and minimize the addition of unsprung weight :D!!!!!! I need a set of those real bad :D!!!!........................... but first I will have to get rid of the three non-355 specific hill 15mm spacer/bolt sets I have acquired....:rolleyes:......hint, hint ;)!!!!

    I'll try, its hard to get good pictures of how it really looks. The wheels are still within the wheel arcs but has looks so much better.

    Your wheel bearings will thank you for only going to 11mm thickness! It will also, probably, help avoid throwing up too much nasty stuff from the tire treads against the bodywork.

    Forgot to mention.... you need to clean those filthy, dirty wheels and brake calipers before you post a picture Johan ;-)

    Please get a picture of the car from the side and front. I want to see this. If they are what I think, Ricambi here I come.

    The wheels look good, thanks for the picks. The paint work on your car is immaculate what year is it?

    I think we all have the paint chips, if you don't it means you never drive it. I also have chips on my windscreen. Very nice car you have there sir, congrats.

    I have the Hills gear knob and wheel bolts I think they are brilliant, thanks for sharing.

    Regards

    Looks just right to me too.

    I have 15mm H&R spacers on my 328 (first registered in Stockholm and has headlight washers for the Swedish market :) but I think I may switch to 11mm Hill Engineering spacers later. Not a big difference, I know, but.....
