    I love my 550 but feel like it might be slightly under tired. Has anyone replaced the stock 18" wheels with 19", and what was the result?

    The OEM Modular wheels for the 550/575 are 19"

    It has been done. In fact the 575 uses 19s and they are directly retrofittable.

    are they the same as the 360 or the rear wheels has a deeper lip? I thought all 550/575 Modular wheels are 19" because I was inquiring for 4 of them to fit my 360

    No, the bolting pattern is different along the outer edge as well. (as well as what you say, including the offset, ie lip, etc)

    As for putting them on your 360, look up the 2 offsets and see how much they differ. They have to be very close for the wheels to work right on the car.

    The service department at my local Ferrari dealer could not verify that the 19" modular 575 wheels would work on my 550 :(
