    I purchased a set of OEM Ferrari wheels this week and were told they were from a 550 and I would need to order the OEM 550 lugs. However, before I drop a couple hundred on twenty of them, I wanted to see if anyone could confirm if they were really from a 550. They are F: 215/45/18 & R: 275/40/18 which seems to be consistent with a 360 OEM size. The info I find on 550s is that they use a F: 255/40/18 and a R: 295/35/18. I currently have them mounted using my 348 lugs but am afraid to drive the car much until I can get the right length lug for the wheel. sorry I can't get a better non-glare close up pic right now. Any help would be appreciated.

    The reason I ask is I see some aftermarket black lugs on eBay that say they are for the 360 wheels, but they come in 45 and 50mm lengths.

    It's just insane to put 360 wheels on a 348. A question of design.

    Oh boy.... You are NOT going to fit in very well around here.

    Greg, at least half the 348's on the road are running 355 or those 360 wheels (so at apparently at least half of us are insane!), they will work just fine on your car. As far as I know, your original 348 bolts work fine with them too. Whoever told you those were 550 wheels is an idiot, and dont ever take another bit of advice from them about your car, or believe anything they ever tell you about anything Ferrari!
    Best thing to do, with 4 of the lugs in place, remove the 5th one, then start threading it back in by hand, if you can count at least 8-10 full turns of the lug bolt before it contacts the wheel, the lugs are long enough. You could also take a wheel off and see how far from the back of the wheel the bolt sticks out, if you're at about 3/4"-1", you're good. If you're using them now and the car rolls, clearly we know that they're not TOO long.

    Thanks for the guidance Steve. It threaded 8 full rotations which is one less than the stock wheels. I went out for 2 hours with them on and did not need to re-torque them so feel confident they are secure. It sure beats spending $250 on a new set of lugs.
