    Fronts are a bolt on operation with 225/40/R18s but the rears were the work.

    I had 20mm machined from the back of the rear hubs by a shop I trust and ordered 32mm wheel bolts and got the 295s that were on my stock 355 wheels transferred over to the 360 wheels. After waiting out the snow and some rain to wash away salt I took it for a drive today and although in theory everything would be OK it was a relief to find that it actually was OK. Wheels track true with no vibration or issues and the rears clear fine, but I am sure there isn't any more room to go up anymore. They cleared fine with my stock wheels but it appears that even with the 20mm removed these may not be tucked in quite as closely as stock, maybe a few mm but hard to tell. Anyway, here is the cheesy home depot parking lot picture I took after taking the wife out to eat.

    I have 550 wheels on my 348. I doubt they would completely clear the body , if the rear suspension were to completely reach its travel maximum. But, the spring rates are so high on these cars that is unlikely to happen. I did notice once, with two people in it, at about 75 over a deep dip in the road a little scrape, but no harm done, i think the flat edge of the inner fender just came down flat on the tire. I do notice tho , and i'm not sure if they are stock , or if the same on 355's , that my springs say eibach. If they are not stock i guess that could explain the very stiff springs in my 348. BTW , my friend has a 355 with the Speedlines that were on the car from new , they have the same type off set that they do not completely clear.
