    I found a set of OEM BBS 18" wheels off a 360 I'd like to fit to my 97 355. Width is the same but is the offset different and if so, enough to matter? Appreciate the info.

    They are made by BBS and they fit great on the 348. The rear track is supposed to be the same on the 355. Not sure why your pic looks so funky, Scott

    I listen to everyone as well. Was told they would. And they do not. The modular wheels stick out just like the pictures shown above.

    I guess there are different 360 wheels with different offsets out there. I have seen several sets of stock 360 wheels on 348's and 355's. I have also seen the 360 Challenge type wheels on a 355 that fit perfectly..

    We tried to fit the 360 BBS wheels and yes, you are correct, they too wide and stick out beyond the rear fenders. I'm now looking for OEM wheels for the 355.

    Correction- we machined a half inch of material off the back of the rear wheels and they now fit with proper clearance. Now I need longer lug bolts front and rear. Where might I look? I'll post pics once they get installed.

    please post some pics as soon as you get it sorted.
    I too was looking for some 360 BBS wheels a month ago for my 355.

    Thanks

    I'm not in the market yet for wheels... well not yet. But I'd like to see how that 1/2" machining off the 360 wheels worked out. Can you provide a pic of the back of the wheel where you machined it too?
