458 Wheel spacers and more

I have a 2010 458 Italia which is running H&R lowering springs, the springs lowering the car by 25mm but I felt this was too much so they are adjusted to sit ther car about 10mm lower than stock with looks about right imo, the springs are also around 20% stiffer but the ride is still nice.

The car is also running 245/35 fronts tyes and 305/35 rears, again the slightly wider tyres (10mm) improve it's appearance a little and must aid some more traction.

I am now thinking of fitting wheel spacers from Hill Engineering, due to the fact it's lower and has slightly wider tyres I was thinking the 11mm spacers would look about right....the tyres add 5mm width on the outside already...so it will look as if it has 16mm spacers if you get my meaning.

I was thinking of keeping it the same front to back ie 11mm on all 4 corners then having GEO done. I figure the the slightly wider stance will slightly soften the suspension but as my H&R springs are 20% stiffer this will balance out.

Interested to hear anyone's views or if anyone has done a similar set up....anyone that thinks you shouldn't alter a Ferrari because Ferrari know best please don't bother commenting lol

 

This is how it sits atm
