    My ? is will most Ferrari wheels interchange within models? Example will 355 wheels fit on a 328? Will 360 wheels fit on a 348? Or are the bolt patterns different? When I finally get my Fcar(328) would like to know what options I have for wheel choices. The stock 328 wheels just don't do it for me.

    The bolt pattern is the same,
    but the offsets are different from car to car in some instances.

    They "all" use the same bolt pattern, but the offsets are the trick. There's a thread called something like "modern ferrari wheel offsets" that lists the offset and size info. Do you like the 360 wheels? Those are *****IN' and can be made to fit a 328 (at least the pre-ABS, talk to auraraptor, too), but it takes some extra work. I can provide more info if desired.

    All Momo wheels (including your 328 stock one) use a standard bolt pattern, so you can interchange them without adapters. For a good selection, check out www.shopmomo.com/steeringwheels.html

    I just put one similar to the Challenge Stradale wheel on my 308QV. It's the Mod 78 wheel shown at www.shopmomo.com/rastwh.html

    Do check our FChat sponsors before you buy... a couple of them carry Momo stuff.

    Width can to be a semi-problem too. The later models have wider stock wheels -- i.e., putting a 10" wide rear wheel on a 308 can be done, but it's a more serious project than just matching offset.

    Though if you're really set on 360 wheels, for example, you can use 360 8" fronts on all four corners, or have the rear wheels narrowed to 9" -- there are services that can do this safely.

    Or, go with a good aftermarket wheel with the right offsets and widths. See the thread with pictures from sponsor Ronal at www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61499.

    You could go with Compomotive modular wheels, but they look very similar to the stock 328 wheels you're trying to get away from.

    Changing wheels on my 348 to a set of 19" wheels. Problem is wheel studs/bolts are to long and the head size is to large. What/where can I go to find a solution?
    It seems the 348 bolts are 1/2 to 5/8 inch to long plus the head size is a bit to large to allow socket into the hole to tighten down.
    Going to 275- 30 -19" rear 235-35-19" front on 360 type narrow spoke wheels, painted red to match. Looks awesome if I can bolt them down....Help a rookie please

    My Ferrari mechanic put 360 wheels on his 328. This required relocating the rear shock chassis pick up points and smaller coil diameter springs to avoid interference issues.

    It sounds like you need to contact the wheel distributor and find out what bolt head is appropriate for the wheels and see if they have a source for bolts. There are a number of different profiles for the interface between the bolt head and the wheel and you need to get the right one.
