    Does anyone have a good source for determining if specific wheel and tire sizes work on the GTC4Lusso V12? There are lots of interesting wheels for sale in the Ferrari Parts and Collectibles section of Ferrari Chat but they are typically from different Ferrari models (488 or F8 wheels show up a lot). I've used this site Wheel Fitment Calculator | Offfset.com for a lot of the initial understanding but then I've heard that the 4-wheel drive system requires extra attention for wheel/tire combinations that will work. Maybe I'm just being lazy, but it would be great to know a YES or NO if you plugged in the new wheel/tire sizes. Thanks!

    None of the wheels for any Ferrari model other than the Lusso or FF will be rated for the axle loads of the Lusso.

    It’s an insurance liability in Europe but not in the US and people have fitted wheels from other models without crashing or dying because, like anything in engineering, there’s a safety margin built in. But technically, you shouldn’t do it because you’re eating that safety margin. Take a look at all the FF/Lusso bent rim posts for how much margin you might need….

    As regards changing the wheels, take a look at the rim size/offset/tyre size combos and photos of sets that other FChatters have tried. That’s the best way to triangulate what will work for you.
