    Those look great. They are Novitecs, right?

    Looks great! I love the Novitecs, just a classy after market wheel that's not too fancy or blingy. Could almost mistake it for an OEM option it fits so well. Great garage as well!

    Yes Novitecs, the wider rears add a huge amount of grip it is almost impossible to break them loose under normal conditions. The ride is still "comfy" and I really love the look, adds an aggressive stance without too much bling IMHO.

    did the wider rear need any adjustments to the normal set?

    did the center caps just pop out of the stock and into the novetecs?

    no adjustment needed, amazing that such wide tires will fit on the car without mods. I bought a new set of Ferrari center caps and they are direct fit.

    345s in the back! That's wide for sure!
    The car looks great ... amazing how well the 456 has aged.

    Hi Jagbuff, I've just bought a second hand set of Novitecs and they're going to be fitted shortly. Do you know what size spacer, if any, your set needed?

    Yes, they need 25 mm spacers in the rear - none in the front. Share pics once you have them on the car.

    Thanks, that's what I thought. Verdi Ferrari are fitting them and they are authorised Novitec dealers.

    Yes, Modificata, I have bought them off Fraser!
