    Yes your wheels look great. I personally do not want to increase the rear wheel diameter to 21 from 20. The set up I would want if I were to go staggered would be a 19 in the front and 20 in the rear.

    Do you know or can you point me to someone that has an FF that has fit the 812 wheels or the f12 TDF wheels. The TDF wheels are 10x20 in the front, which is a concern to run on the FF and 11.5x20 in the rear. The front wheels call for a 275 tire, which I don't think can fit on an FF in the front.

    Those look like F12 wheels. I would have shell shock / Amnesia if I had been through 15+ sets of wheels too. Why did you not keep those f12 wheels. What encouraged you to move to the current Lusso setup?

    same reason as all the others - they bent!

    I should have known. I think any wheel is going to bend if the pothole is big enough due to the immense weight of the front of our cars carrying the giant v12. Also if the wheel does not bend next thing up is your suspension to get damaged.

    No spacers at all. I corresponded with the owner. But you’re correct that he did run F12 width fronts (255) rather than the 812/TdF 265 width tyres.
    I’m running 265 width fronts on my custom set but they’re 9J ET 44 vs the 812 wheels’ 10J ET 48.4. However, the extra splay of the 265 tyre on a 10J vs a 9J rim should be negligible.

    The 812 runs 275/35/20 in the fronts. You think an FF at stock height could pull it off? It sounds like the 265/35/20 in the front will work based off your experience despite the front wheel is 10 inch wide vs the 9 you have.

    Apologies - yes, you’re right, the 812 runs 275.
    The splay of the 265 tyre that I run on my rims will run to 1/4 of an inch extra when sizing up from my 9J to the 10J of the 812 rim. That’s 6.4mm in total so only 3.2mm on the inside. The slightly larger offset will also bring the tyre another 4mm towards the suspension strut for a total 7.2mm extra backspace vs my setup.

    Unfortunately, I’m on winter tyres at the moment so I can’t tell you how much clearance I have. Another way to look at it is if someone has fitted the 255 on 812 wheels with no drama then the 265 in theory only eats another 5mm of backspace.

    Great points - I think a 265 will fit in the front. You may not be able to go full lock on turning however, but I never do. The 275 is what I want to get under there, but am almost positive not a chance:(
