    As a Ferrari Mondial owner, considering different wheel and tyre options, I found a need for a wheel sizing visualizer along with a tyre sizing calculator.

    Unfortunately, although there were some tyre sizers out there, I could find no way to visualize wheel width fitment, ET or clearances.

    Hence, I decided to write a small Mac OSX software package, to allow me to see the results of different wheel/tyre packages, offsets and spacers.

    As I know the same difficulties other Ferrari owners have, I have decided to attach my latest version of my free software here, along with a couple of images.

    Remember, it is written for Apple Mac OSX and not for Windows.

    Hope you enjoy!

    Don't forget that the wheel and tyre sizer accepts user input to allow you visualize any vehicle fitments. Just measure up your hub mounting surface to both inner suspension and outer arch/fender. Now change the inner and outer clearance values, in the application, to match any Ferrari models, including V12s, TRs, 430, 360, 355, 348, 328, etc. and ABS.

    The software is totally flexible and free to distribute.

    Many thanks for the responses, from all. Much appreciated.

    Cool program Geo! Great to see another Mac programmer on here :) BTW, if you're in the southern ontario region, you should come on out to our next big run. I'll be posting about it in the Canadian section in the next few days...

    Yes, I am in the Niagara area. I'll be watching for info posted in the Canadian section, regarding your next big run.

    I started on PCs, but a couple of years ago changed over to Mac. You know what they say; once you've had a Mac, you never go back.....Geo.

    Sorry "Smg2", I forgot to say that my Mondial 8 is a 1982 model.

    Here is picture. I just love this car. Not photogenic; looks so much better in reality.

    Just had major service done this year, along with A/C reconditioned, water pump upgraded to 328 and HT leads replaced.


    Later,
