    Hi guys,

    I'm contemplating buying a BBS FI wheel set in sizes 8.75 x 19 ET18 and 11.25 x 19 ET23 that is meant for the F430, for sale in my neighborhood. However; currently I have the original F430 wheels with 15mm spacers in the rear. The front of the car is lowered by approx. 2cm.

    What do I need in terms of tyre sizes and bolts? I realize I can't fit the spacers in the rear with 11.25 ET23 wheels, but do I need different bolts than original ones? Looking forward to seeing some experience with these wheels!

    Also; if anyone happens to have pictures of the BBS FI on an Argento Nurburgring 360 or F430, please show me to make me want them even more! :D

    Be careful on size, I read if size is not the recommended, it can set of the e-diff causing damage unless the ecu is reprogrammed. If the wheel sensor don’t match factory spec, system thinks there’s a wheel slip

    Prepare to get new fenders when the sh*tty BBS fitment tears 'em out (unless you run the car at monster truck height).

    You've been warned.

    Thanks brothers, for the information. I decided to go for a set of Scuderia wheels. I think they suit the car better.
