    Does anyone know what the specs are for the bolts for the NF2 wheels and the 25mm Novitec spacers? I bought a used set of NF2s for my 550 but did not receive any of the lug bolts for the spacers or the wheels. A set of Fiske wheels were on it when I bought the car so I am not even sure if the lug bolts I have are the stock ones or not. Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    John

    John- Stock 55 mm long bolts (actual thread length) will work on the NF2s, but I do not know how long the Novitec spacer bolts are. I assume they are the 10 bolt type spacers where you bolt the spacer to the hub and the wheel to the spacer. I have Hill Engineering spacers on mine, but the bolt heads were actually too long for Novitecs and I had to use an alternate set of bolts I had to make them fit my NF2s. Otherwise would have had to turn the heads down slightly.

    Contact Jason at Exotica, one of our sponsors, and he should be able to tell you the length of the spacer bolts and possibly get a set of bolts for you.

    I have Novitech with NO SPACERS. I was told by Novi if all fitted then don't worry about the spacers. I'm not sure if we have the same wheels.

    Novitec only makes three basic wheels for Ferraris, the NF1 (centerlock for 360/430 only) and NF2 Enzo copies and the NF3. Both are available in 5 x108 mm sizes for the early cars and 5 x 114.3 mm sizes for the late cars. The NF1 and NF2 are available in 19" and 20" sizes and the NF3s in 20"-22" sizes.

    They fit without spacers, apparently, so you can see how you like the look that way.

    Jaticker- Do you have any photos of your car without the spacers?

    I think we have the same wheels. My car (for some reason) also came with a set of 360 wheels and tires. My Novi were black. I had them painted ( you gave me the code, thanks) and used the 360's on my car. The dealer told me the wheels were wrong etc. I thought they were 550's
    Anyway, the bolts worked on both wheel types and now I running the Novi's with no spacers at all. Everything clears, the wheels showed no signs of damage and the calipers are fine.
    When I have a wheel off or up in the air, I'll try and get a part number.

    No problem, the 360 and 550/575M NF2 wheels are the same. The F430 uses the same NF2 front wheel but has a 20" rear wheel that will also fit a Maranello.

    Thanks for the reply Terry. I will order a new set of stock bolts.. I may have to have the spacer-to-hub bolts modified like you mentioned. Any suggestions on where to buy stock bolts?
