    The stock tire size creates a traction situation the transaxle doesn't really tolerate and you want more?

    I would put Hill Engneering spacers to make it appear wider.

    11mm in the back

    I just spoke to Paul Hill today over the phone and he only recommends 11mm at the rear

    He is afraid that if you put spacers upfront and lock the wheel with the bump stops hitting might cause fender rubbing.

    This is an image of someone putting 11mm on the back of a 512TR

    You can contact HRE wheels, they can provide you a vintage looking 5 star similar to F40 wheels but in newer sizing to accommodate the look you want.

    When you say 'put wheels on your speedlines', do you mean tires(tyres)? Or do you mean you want to rebuild your speedlines? What's wrong...are they leaking? Cracked? Bent?

    Congrats - That car looks amazing with those rare option wheels!

    Please listen to Rifle Driver, he is a Ferrari Expert - what he mentioned is that the TR group up to the last of the 94 512TR's had a weak differential, putting more rubber on the road will create additional stress for your already factory weak diff. I would do nothing as the car is stunning! I miss my 94 512 TR greatly.

    Best and enjoy! I LOVE those wheels on your new car, looks great.

    Of course if money is not a concern buy the upgraded DIFF and install it on the car and get more rubber.

    Ok, that's a question of tire size not wheel size.
