You statement is not effective as I do not know the wheels will fit correctly and that's why I ask the offsets. I know what the OEM are and they are way off from what I want.

11" will not properly hold a 325/30-19 tire. I should be at least 11.5 but preferably 12.

Greg, most guys use an 11" rear for the 360 (sometimes 10.5). You bought tires too wide! We normally go with a 235 front, 295 rear.

why dont you tell me what you want and I will see what I can do. If we feel it is safe and correct for the car we may be able to do it for you. I can tell you as a company we have built 3 piece 12" wide for the rear of a 360, but feel it is aggressive.

Never hurts to ask though. Let me know and I will go to work.

I have 295's now and want wider.

The 325 is a dead-on replacement for the 275/40-18. It's also same tire used on the GT2.

With the correct rear offset of 50-52 mm it sits perfectly where it should w/o being tucked under the rear fender lip.

So 11.5"-12" is an ideal width according to Michelin. I believe it's TechArt that uses 11.5 on their Porsches.

So, I talked to Matt @ HRE about it and he said its a no go. The Porsche forgings just wont work with Ferrari. Unless Chad can figure out a way to do it, I think we are out of luck.

I was expecting this because when the Porsche monoblocs were introduced I promptly called and spoke with Matt and he told me he had no plans to make these for Ferrari.

So it does not surprise me and I appreciate the efforts.

Well, we do make the correct fitment for the car which is 11" wide. We dont make the 11.5 or 12 that you are asking for.

I like the 11" rear because the car really doesn't have the room in the front to put a huge tire to balance things out (if you have a huge rear tire). We have done 12's before, and although they look awesome, they introduce a pretty good deal of understeer into a car that has a slight understeering bias from the factory. We try to be a tiny bit conservative with our monoblok line too, but have the capability to get to pretty much any reasonable offset that the customer is looking for.

So Chad, would it be theoretically possible to get the correct offsets with a 12" rear if you used the Porsche forging?

That's my situation but it's curable!

The third wheel down, that's the P40? It only is available in 11" widths for the 360?

What is its offset for the 360 please, Marc?
