    Does anybody have either a CAD rendering or cross section of the carbon brakes and calipers (front and rear) for the F430? Working to get some custom wheels made and while I can easily take a few measurements or compare the cross section of the wheel against my brakes, I've run into this a few times now and I feel like it would greatly help the community if there were a DXF file or something available when getting wheels fitted.

    You're getting custom wheels made?

    Well “custom.” The custom starfish wheels inspired me. In the same vane, I’m having a set of Ferrari style wheels from a different model made in sizes that will fit my F430.

    I went through a similar process to have BBS FI “style” wheels made but in different offsets and widths. It was quite tricky without legit scans of the wheel assembly and frankly the manufacturers weren’t interested in doing such a deep analysis. The first set ended up being based on f430 CCM dimensions and did not clear the scud calipers. I was lucky they agreed they had the wrong measurements for the Scud and were willing to remake at their cost. Adding 3mm offset (I tested with some spacers) was enough to clear without changing the wheel spoke design.
