    If they are the correct offset for 360/430 the offset will be to wide for a 355.

    You might want to check this out.

    Just saying....:)

    Yes you are correct. I have seen wide offset aftermarket wheels on 355s in the past and it is damn awful looking.

    OEM 355 wheels are 7.5Jx18, offset 46.15 mm and 10Jx18, offset 77.9 mm.

    offset match on the front and within an inch on the rears. Many 355 owner but Hill Engineering 1/2"-3/4 spacers on the rear to begin with - as the rear wheels are too deep in the wheel well they desire the coke bottle rear end look

    check it out - this car with 3/4 inch rear spacers

    you would go with

    front tires 225/35/19
    rear tires 265/35/19

    OEM F 225/40 18 R 265/40 18

    (225 x 0.40 x 2) ÷ 25.4 = 7.09" + 18" = 25.09" F
    (265 x 0.40 x 2) ÷ 25.4 = 8.35" + 18" = 26.35" R

    (225 x 0.35 x 2) ÷ 25.4 = 6.20" + 19" = 25.20" F
    (265 x 0.35 x 2) ÷ 25.4 = 7.30" + 19" = 26.30" R

    I know 19" can fit, I am using them on my car now. This is not a concern.

    What you are saying is the Cali rims will fit 355, 360 and 430. If the rims are the correct offset for the 360/430 then they are too wide for the 355.

    If they are the correct offset for the 355 then they will need spacers to work on 360/430.



    An inch is a huge difference in wheel offset.

    You can make almost anything fit. That’s not saying much.

    For a while my Esprit had BBS wheels intended for a mustang.

    Well... the bolt pattern is right if that's the definition of fit.

    The rears will be 17mm out farther than OEM 355 wheels, the tires will be outside the rear fender like a jacked 67 Camaro on air shocks. Fact.

    Some people either
    a) know it and love it
    b) never noticed and are probably not car guys anyhow.
