Wide Track rear axle?

I bought the "Fiorano" wheels directly from the Imola Racing in Germany several years ago. Your wheels are the "Challenge" model. They shipped them directly to me without any intermediary. Still very expensive but IMO one of the best looking wheels available for the 355. I can check my receipts to see if I have an e mail address. They were very accomodating as I had one of the few 355's with a "wide track" rear axle which is a few mm wider than normal 355 rear track and the 11" wheels they normally sell did not fit my car.

I had the same problem with my 95. I have HRE and the rear track on my car was wider than all the other 355's with the same wheels and offset. They had to mill the hub area of the wheel so it would fit in the wheel well. What serial # is your 355? An early model?

What is this all about? Did some 355s really have a "wide track" rear axle?

Mine seems wider, I have 15mm right to the outside edge of my rear fender measured directly off the the outside of the wheel lip. I have read where owners have installed 15mm spacers and they worked just fine, If I did this I would have to roll my fender edge.

Is everyone taking an fchat break cause I fully expected an answer by now... anyone?

I did a little home work on Wikipedia and found this.

Serie Fiorano
For 1999, Ferrari introduced a limited production of F355 Spider models designated, "Serie Fiorano." Launched in March, 1999, this limited production run of 100 planned units (104 actually produced) included a number of performance enhancements:
Competizione-derived Fiorano suspension pack, featuring wide track, stiffer springs, a thicker anti-roll bar

Not sure if the wide track on the Fiorino means a wider rear axle or they had spacers behind the wheels.

Michael Schumacher's much coverd 1997 factory F355 had a 20mm wider track both front and rear, (As well as the famous 10,000rpm engine}. This was acheved via factory fitted spacers on each brake disk. And he would have had the very best spec anyone could get on a f355.
So its my guess that any factory 355 never had a wider track any other way other than spacers.
