?F8 Wheels On A Portofino?

When i first glanced at this thread i thought it said Z28 Wheels on a Portofino

 

I would start by bolting them on to see if there are any interference problems. Spacers may help if the wheels touch the brakes or if the wheels need to be moved outboard for looks.

You will find that the 305 tires are lower and faster rotating than the stock tires. This may look awkward, and it confuse the car's electronics because the rear wheels are now always rotating more quickly in relation to the fronts.

The ideal rear tires would be 335/30-20, but these can't be correctly installed on 11" rims. But 325/30-20 and 315/30-20 can go on 11" rims, so that may be your answer.

 

I agree with Redneck and would run fast and far from a situation in which the traction and stability controls are constantly attempting to correct a perceived over-rotation of the rears. That would be Bad. I can smell your brakes and hear your throttle cuts from here.

 

My Portofino has 335/30-20 on 20x12 wheels. The offset is +44. If the offset on the F8 wheels is near that,they should fit and so should 325/30 and 315/30 tires. What is the offset- it should be cast on the back?

 

Get the offset for the F8 fronts also. If getting under the car is not convenient now,post the question in the F8 section and someone will have the answer for you.

On your Portofino,the front offset is about +46 (may vary by wheel style). This can be compared to the F8's offset.

 

Update?

 

Thanks for the post and the replies, I don't like the stock wheels on my Porto either. I was considering going with the Cali T diamond pattern wheels but been there, done that. I'm now looking for F8 wheels....
