    Yes and depending on the color of your car those would look cool.

    I am not too sure on this but you may need to get the bolts as well I think it might have been for the front. Not sure but it is easy to do and they will update the car quite a bit.

    Thank you for your answer!

    I try to sell these wheels at the moment and only one guy is interested and he asked me if they fit on a 348...

    Yes. Long bolts needed unless you've already got them 'cause you're using spacers or have a serie speciale like mine.

    Have a look at my profile photos (on my phone right now so can't a pic

    Yes, they will fit, but regarding the back wheels, it would be better to machine them down at least 10mm for a good fit.

    Oh really...so that means 360/430 wheels will also fit the 355. Interesting...any dangers at high speed using spacers?

    I think they do fit but I would check with 'Hills Engineering' to see if you need any adaptor kits. That is spacers and longer bolts. I have 355 wheels on my 348 which fit beautifully with appropriate spacers. Fills out the wheel arches perfectly

    It fit the 348..you have to machine out 3/4 inside to make it fit..

    They (360 wheels) stick out too much in the rear wheel arch and look c**p IMHO!

    They look great if you machine .7" off the backspace. Requires machine shop work and shorter (or cut the originals) bolts to hold them on. Without maching most 360 wheels don't look right from the rear, mine actually hit the rear fenders when you hit a bump before I machined them down.

    I have them fitted on mine and although tight, they do fit.

    Dude ...that looks sweeeeeeeet!!

    I wanna get some deep-dish for the rear on my 355. Love that deep dish!! And there's almost no options with 355 wheels for deep-dish rims

    I tried to fit the 360 wheels today at the garage. Front fits perfectly fine but rear definitely needs to be machined down. I'll also go for 255 tires instead of the 275's to make sure they fit as the need to. Well, it would have been too easy if they would just fit rightaway, wouldn't it...

    P.S.: Car is still held by the hydraulic lift when I took the picture, the wheel fits the wheel housing very nice when it's all the way down.

    You can run them without machining and with the 275s... at least I was able to do that.

    I did have my machined down 17mm so that 35mm wheel bolts work. You could do 12mm too and use 40mm wheel bolts.

    The 1990 TS I bought came with them this way too. IIRC machining down is more important in later years as the rear track width grew a little

    Mine is from 1994 and they stick out too much. I think machining and 255s will definitely do the job. I'll post pictures again once i'ts done

    Are you still running the 275s? Looks really good on the rear with 17mm machines off. Do you use spacers on the front wheels?

    If you could post a picture from the rear perspective showing the whole car that would also be great to see how the wheels look from that angle.
