    While SteveR and I wait anxiously for our Larini exhausts, I will be ordering wheels and putting a proper stereo in my spider. Wheel sizing I am going with is 8.5x19 with 235/35/19 and 11x19 with 305/30/19. Cig1 was nice enough to help me with this, and I trust his analysis and conclusions.

    My Question is, do I need to specify an offset for the wheels? And if so, what should it be?

    In front of you
    You are too kind.

    Thank you

    I think the guys at I-Forged have the offsets dialed in.

    You should not have to specify an offset. The wheel manuacturer should know that and adjust the offset according to the width of the rim.

    I would address that issue to them to make sure your bearing loads and required spacings are there.

    This site may help you to understand offsets, etc.

    Thanks boys. Good link Greg, read through it in the past, always good to actually know what you are talking about. I like to use big strong words to throw people off when I have no real clue. Obscurity, pretension, dynamic, superfluous, the, etc. are just a few of my favorite.

    What variant of the Pirelli Pzero should I go with? <-- See strong word usage.

    Were any of your listeners "offset" by what you said?

    approx. +35 with a high pad up front, this is a VERY conservative offset I'm suggesting with your 8.5 and 11" (both of which are a bit small if you ask me) I personally run 9" up front and 12.5 out rear on my customers cars as well as my own car.

    If you go Pirelli, and you're running 305's out back, I would say to go with either the Rosso (for street only duty), or if you plan to go to the track and drive on the street, go for the PZero Corsa System, just bear in mind the tread wear on both are kinda poor. You may want to give a thought to Michellin PS2's, better handling tire (in my opinion, and better on wear)

    What size tire do you run with the 9 and 12.5? Do the fronts have to have the fenders rolled?

    in my opinion, ALL 360's need to roll the front fenders (it's not hard to do, we do it all the time) you just have to be careful. I have 245-30-20 front and 305-25-20 rear. I'm going to change the 305's at some point to a 325-25-20, however the 305's are fine, I just want a bit more meat out back.

    Oh, BTW, not sure if you have your exact wheels picked out, but there are a ton of things to consider when opting for a wheel, you need to ask yourself all the right questions, gather your info from guys who know and draw the conclusion which is best for you.
