    I finally got a few photos of the wheels on the car. they did take a LOT of working to get them to fit correctly. These had to be milled on the back sides 18mm rear and 15mm front. The center holes had to be bored to fit the hub centers. All of the lug bolts had to be cut and rethreaded to fit. Yes we talked to Ricambi and there were no straight fit bolts. Perhaps its the modular wheel or the speciale fitment, but it was a PITA to get done. I do like the results though. Hope you do as well.

    Do you have a shot looking straight down the side to show the relation of fender to wheel? How much material is left between the mounting surface and the lug seats? 18mm is a decent amount of material to have removed.

    It looks fantastic, these are the wheels I'd love on my F355.

    You make me proud, dude. After all the machining, are you near the same offset as the stock wider 348 SS/Spider rear wheels?

    Wow, what a difference! I never liked those wheels on the 360, but I really like them on the 348 - they fit very nicely and look like they belong on the 348 much more so than on the 360.

    Thanks Vince! The offset should be within about 1-2mm according to the shop. I let someone with a lot more knowledge do the calculations, but should be dead on. Had the car realigned etc and it does ride much better. Pirelli P-Zero Rossa shoes. I may lower the rear 1/2" or so but for now I like the look.

    Im not sure on the remaining metal against the hub, but its still sizable. The guys planning it had the same concern before the milling, but in guessing id say at least 1.5-2.0" of metal are remaining. The wheel is about 8-10mm inside the fender, it is very close, but does not protrude at all. I wanted to make sure the wheel didnt stick out at ALL so it didnt get monster truck looking. I can see if i can take a measurement. I took a photo but you couldnt see the wheel so it didnt help much.

    That's plenty of material remaining IMO. It sounds nice and safe.

    I installed the 360 modular wheels onto my 348 a couple of months ago. I really love the look. For now, I do not plan on machining the back sides of them down. The front wheels are basically where the stock wheels would be with spacers. The rear wheels are out much further than the stock wheels but the tops of the rear tires are still just inside the top of the wheel well lip. ;)

    These wheels look great on the 348. I do not understand milling them. Here is one I found on ebay. (No affiliation)

    Verify please if 360 wheels will fit 348ts, standard wheels. As I have a chance to purchase 360 wheels to mount on my 348.
    Or will they require the mods of which you wrote.
    I have a set of red wheels of the same design you show. Your car looks great by the way.
    Thanks for any help or info you can provide me with. TM

    My question of mounting 360 wheels on my 348, direct bolt on or special mods to fit, 348 wheel bolts reused? Stock wheels are best with 25 mm spacers rear, front, no spacer.
    So I would assume that front 360 wheel needs machinging down 10 to 15 mm to equal stock 348 wheels and the 360 rear would be perfect as is to equal the 25 mm reccomended spacing on the 348 wheel.
    Thanks for any info and help with this. TM

    I have stock 360 wheels on my 348 TS SS and they fit fine. They may be a bit further out in the rear than my stock wheels but they are good. Next time I put the stock wheels back on for a Concours I'll measure the relationship to the wheel well lip and respond on Fchat.

    I had them on my '91 TS. I bought a set of lugs that were about 10mm longer as I recall, but everything else was fine. The stock front 360 tires are too wide, and will rub if you don't get some more narrow ones, or "roll" the fender lip.

    Did anyone got a picture of the hubs after they are milled down? Is there realy enough material to remove 10-15mm? On nearly every wheelhub i looked in my life the material strength was arround 5-10mm befor the "cylindric cone" where the wheelbolt attaches too begins. So if i mill down 10-15mm i remove some material of the cone and the wheel bolt will be partially in air and not torquing down the wheelhub. Or did the 360 wheels realy have much material on? Or maybe do you removed some material of the cone and it is still stable enough to hold the wheel? That would realy interesst me because i'm in a similar situation with some other wheels where i need to get the offset 10mm more in at the back because the wheels stick too much out. At the moment im at Offset 53mm with a 11,75" x 19" Wheel. And like to get to 63mm.
