    Before anyone goes off here, I have done the search and read all 108 returns. I was told by one sponsor they do not fit. I saw one thread that seems to say they do but it was not conclusive. I have a chance to get a set of modular wheels from a 360 and want to make sure they will fit before I proceed. Appreciate first hand advice rather than just speculation, thanks, John

    There was a 355 at SeeRED in Donnington, UK, this weekend and I am pretty sure that it had 360 wheels on it.

    I was thinking to myself "He can do whatever he wants, but it won't look good," until I read that it is the modular wheels. I can see those looking GREAT on the Modena, but it was the five-spoke star-design ones I thought would not look good.

    I got one response that said yes, and one that said only if you grind the rear wheel down. I would think you could just add a spacer to alleviate the inner clearance. It seems there is quite a bit of room in the wheel well. Hopefully, someone will have more to add before we put this thread to bed!

    The 355 wheels are so nice though... :D You could buy 360 wheels and put em on, but keep your 355 wheels and tires for track days!

    Andy, I agree, and would not swap oem 355 rims for oem 360 rims, but I do really like the modular style. I don't know if ferrari offered modular rims on the 355, as I don't believe I have ever seen one set up this way. Anyone here with modular rims on their 355?

    wow, this thread got dragged back from a year ago!!


    The rims on the red car are not factory modulars but knockoffs from the guy from Florida who had done some posting here last spring. Seems like he was offering the wheels without the integrity to answer questions from the 550 guys about fitment, weight etc. I am not saying they are bad wheels, just be careful when ordering that you are clear what you are getting. They look great on this car, which I think was recently posted as someones "new to them" arrival.

    I think I'd like to stay with factory Ferrari modulars.

    This guy will NOT answer any specific question. So far I've figured out the wheels are made in China. (Not necessarily a bad thing given price. I'd be really worried if these are Italian/German made at this price...) But he will NOT answer my question as to the correct spacers to use for my 456GT yet he claimed that he's done DOZENS of Ferrari's and Porsche's...
