    Hi , can anyone help me with 17 or 18 inch wheels for a 308 . I have heard 360 fronts work w/25mm spacers and the rears must be narrowed . I had purchased some 17 in wheels from GaRedCars years ago for one of my other cars , but his number is no longer in service . I am looking for the least amount of "BRAIN DAMAGE" when doing this , Thanks Mike

    You can use the front wheels of the 360 without spacers, it should bolt right in using the 360 wheel bolts and you're going to need four front 360 wheels.

    Well there are certainly more than one way to put 360 wheels on a 308, and Mike T and I subscribe to two very different trains of thought on that. You would appear to have encountered some information that matches what I did on my car.

    REGARDLESS, you've got some 17" wheels on hand, so let's make them fit. What's the nature of the wheels? OE from another Ferrari? Aftermarket for a 308? Can we assume they're designed to fit a Ferrari?

    If that's unknown (or just to check), you'll need to go find the measurements off the wheel. You CAN measure this yourself, but it should be cast (or forged) in the back of the spokes, or elsewhere on the wheel and should say something like "17x8 ET 11". Please report back with that info and we can figure out how to make these fit and steer about right.

    Mike - I'm fairly sure the info you need is in the 308 section as most questions have been asked before - its worth a look through it or maybe try an advanced search on '360' in the 308 section

    Update : Thanks for all the help ! I had the rear 360 wheels narrowed to 8.5 and ordered longer lug bolts for the front , it worked out great and the car looks and handles awesome with the new 18"s / Thanks again !
