    Be sure to run 295 in the rear, otherwise you may have a traction control light going over 100km/h when the vehicle is in Wet or Sport mode.

    Love the looks of Speciale and Aperta wheels on the 488!! But I am wondering can the 458 Speciale wheels directly fit on 488 without any spacers? Anyone know?

    The Italia runs 295's but the 458 Speciale and 488 GTB actually run the same 245/305 setup. More so, they have used the Michelin PS2 spec'ed tires from the Speciale for some of the GTB track test. So if you're putting these on a 488, use the same setup or you're going to be undertired and will get a traction control light for using 295's.

    The 488 GTB has a more aggressive offset than the Speciale so you'll need at least 10mm spacers if you're going to use the Speciale rims for the 488 GTB:

    458 Speciale
    Front 20x9 ET 44.7, Rear 20x11 ET 48.4

    488 GTB
    Front 20x9 ET 44.7, Rear 20x11 ET 38.5

    Thanks John!! Looks like I just gotta get some 10mm spacers to put on the Speciale rims in the rear and then running the same 245 front 305 rear tire setup on my 488 should be fine!!

    Does anyone know a good brand for spacers that will fit our cars? Thanks~

    I know Novitec makes spacers for the 488. Start there and you can also search the forum for more info.

    Cool! Thanks John~

    I know Novitec makes some pretty good stuff for Ferrari, didn't know they make spacers too. I hope the spacers they make is lightweight as well so it doesn't add much weight on the rear wheels setup.
