Will 355 wheels fit a 456m??

whatspeedlimit? · Oct 23, 2007

Someone Is looking to purchase my 355 HRE wheels, and Im wondering if they will fit his 456M. The Stock wheels on the 456 are 17's and I want to know if My 18's will fit in there. The Fronts are 18x8 and the rears are 18x10.5 which is a half inch wider than stock in the rear on the 355. As for the tires,they are pirelli rossos, with 245/35 ZR18 in front and 285/35 R18 in rear. Thanks

The wheels and tires will fit (456 stock front tires are actually wider) but will probably require 25mm spacers in the back due to the offset difference between the 355 and 456 rear wheels.

To run 18"s for the 456, front tyre size should be 255/40/18 and rears at 295/35/18. For 10.5" rears, just about okay-ish and as the poster above me says, need to have the 25mm spacers to 'offset' the offset differences of the 355/456.

Now, fronts at 8" wide is just not wide enuff for a 255mm tread width. There'll be an excess of circa 25mm either side of the wheel rim that'll only act as a 'slack' shoulder. No good for the fast cornering forays... Fronts optimally should be 9" wide or at the very least 8.5" wide.

It will and can be made to fit, but it ain't gonna look good and won't feel good also...
