    Which size spacer is the best for my 348 with 355 alloys.

    I've got 15mm spacers in the pic below, but thicker spacers would I think look better.

    20mm or 25mm?

    15mm front and 25mm back seems to be universally liked by the 348 Brotherhood!

    Wider than 25mm in back *has* caused a few 348's some problems, so there are limits to such good things.

    Problem is, mines a GTB which i was led to beleive had a different rear suspension. Along with 355 alloys which supposedly have a larger offset against the 348 wheels, I though 15mm spacers would be ideal.

    However, as you can see from the pic they still don't fit the arches properly.

    You are correct, but I bet that you can still go out to 25mm rear.

    Here are the improvements that were made during Ferrari 348 production:

    I don't think any of us said we wouldn't communicate in *this* forum, to maintain solidarity with The Brotherhood :)

    We're all still here :)
