    The majority I have seen consist of the following size (or thereabouts)

    20x12 rear
    19x8.5 front

    Is 20 not possible on the front? Rubbing issues?

    I was on the Hamann website and they recommend going 20 front. Yet I still find most people go 19" front.

    Anybody care to comment?

    Also how wide can I go?

    I think 20" wheels are a bit absurd on a 360. It's like riding on bicycle tires! I have seen 20" installed for extremely wide rear tires, but i think that's pushing it a bit.

    I have 19's and sometimes think they are a bit much on ride harshness.

    If I were you I see if you could ride one with 18, 19, and then 20" in a short time span if possible so can sense the differences in ride quality the large wheels cause.

    Cargraphic recommend 8.0x20 ET16 with 235/30/20 front and 11.5x20 ET42 325/25/20 rear. They also do a 12x20 rear wheel.

    Their 19" wheel is 8.5 wide with ET22 hence the 20" front wheel they specify should be more or less the same save for the diameter.

    So you should be able to use that data when purchasing the wheel of your choice.

    I have a 02 360 spider and have 19x8.5 (235/35) and 20x10 (305x25) and also lowered the car and have NOT had any issues with the way the car drives. However I did have to roll the fenders BECAUSE the front tire did rub the front drivers side. Since the fenders have been rolled, I have not had any issues.

    Car looks great! From what i have seen the norm is:

    Front: 19x8.5, 19x8.5
    Rear: 20x10.5, 20x10.5

    There's very few aftermarket looks that I like but you'rs would probably be the only way I'd go beside the Novitec. Very nice.
