    Will 360 wheels fit a 355?

    They fit, but you will need to replace the 360 stock tires with a lower profile tire to keep from rubbing when you bottom out. Also, don't set to the softer suspension mode. I am using 265/35/18 (rear) and 215/35/18 (front)

    Not what I thought this thread was going to be about, but I 've got to say the (19 inch?) 360 rims do look good on your car. However, I still prefer the stock 18 inch 355 wheels on your car. How bad does the rubbing occur when suspension is set to soft? Do you think the tires would rub in the sport setting while driving briskly through terrain with quick peaks and valleys? I guess this question can go to anyone who has put 19's on their 355.

    Oops sorry Taz,

    did not realize 360 stocks were also 18s. Well questions about 19s on an F355 still stands.

    Once AGAIN,correct information may be communicated on this topic. I know 360 Modular wheels do not fit perfectly on a 355. The fronts are fine; however, the rear wheels stick out about 2 inches past the wheel well. Because they stick out too far to even be legal in my state, much less stone chips as a result of the extended past the car, I decided not to put the wheels on my 355. Many individuals claimed that they would fit fine. I actually tried it and found out otherwise.

    I have had these rims on my car for over two years. There is an offset difference. The rear tires do not stick out 2", closer to 1". I use Pirelli P-Zero Rosso tires, which help because they sort of taper at the outside of the tire. They do not rub since I went with a lower profile tire. (265/35/18). They give the car improved cornering than stock and do not rub with the suspension in race mode.

    Looks great!
    Any problems with ground clearance (especially the front) since the 215/35/18's are about 23.93" and the stock 225/40/18's are 25.09" tall? Your rears are also a little more than 1" shorter than stock. Seems like that would make your 355 about 1/2" to 9/16" lower.

    360 wheels have a different offset to what the 355 requires. So the correct answer to this question is no, 360 wheels do not fit perfectly on a 355.

    Changing the profile of the tyre and the offset of the rim is not the correct way to go about fitting wheels to a performance car, unless you only use the car to get coffee on Sunday morning these changes will effect the handling of the car. Not to mention 360 rear wheels stick out from the rear gaurds and look very strange.

    Get wheels designed for the 355.

    Thanks! While I don't track my car I do want it to perform and look correct.

    No problem, I agree with you, when I make changes to a car I do not want the changes to make the car perform worse than before. I like to improve my cars.

    After market rim's are a good option, I have 19" 3 peice ROH wheels on my car, getting the correct offset was a bit of a job but we got there in the end.
