    Theres a set of 550 wheels for sale on FerrariAdds, does anyone know if the 550 wheels will fit on an 87 Mondial? If not any suggestions for a stock wheel?

    they should bolt up, but you may need spacers/bolts in the rear to clear the suspension.

    A very popular and easy upgrade with many FChat Mondials is a set of 348 wheels and bolts which install right up no problem. All of the owners that have taken this upgrade rave about it. Many pictures of these and other wheels in the 'Show us your Mondials' thread in the Showroom section.
    Good luck!

    What about 355 rims, will they bolt straight on and do they need spacers?

    355 rims are dimensionally almost the same as 348 wheels in terms of width and offset (except they are 18" instead of 17") and fit on the Mondial very nicely, no spacers. Problem is that 355 wheels are in high demand and expensive. 348 wheels on the other hand, only look good on Mondials and are cheap and readily available!!

    my mondial had them fitted by a previous owner, at the front the wheels will wear you out if you need to do any low speed maneuvering and the backs stick out to far so when you hit even a modest bump the tyres hit the wheel arch also you have to fit longer wheel bolts. I have now fitted 348 wheels and am really pleased with the improvement in driving
