Ok, I want to add a set of real Ferrari 360 rims to my 88 Mera. Right now I have a set of 88 Chromodora Rims on the car (which I will be selling if I can find 360 rims to fit). My current tire sizes are:

Front: P215/60R/15
Back: P225/60R/15

Original 360 Ferrari wheels are a 5 lug and are sizes:

Front: P215/45/18
Rear: P275/40/18

First off would that size rim even fit on a Mera/Fiero? Would they stick out? Are 18" wheels just too wide for a Mera? What modifications would I have to do?

Any help you can give me on this would be greatly appreciated. Any place where you can reccomend a true Ferrari 360 Rim or even an OEM 360 Rim? (Already tried tirerack, no good subs)

Ferrari 360
Bolt Pattern 5x108
Hub Dia. 67
18" x 7.5" 31.5mm offset
18" x 10" 38.95mm offset

It would take a lot of custom work. I would do a lot of research and all the math before I ordered a used set of Ferrari wheels and tires.

This is what I have on my car.
18x7 +42 225/40/18
18x9 +35 265/35/18

www.roh.com.au The website is currently down for some reason.
But they make wheels for Ferrari including the 360 style. They sell them directly to Ferrari.
That way you can get the right bolt pattern, offset and style you are after.

You must have DEEP pockets - genuine Ferrari 360 wheels and tires with wheel adapters will cost you almost as much as what the car is worth.

Hi, I would really research this---like PaulJK said above--they cost some $$$$ big time Coin. You could call some performance shops and ask them --what they have gotten away with..

I wanted to use ferrari 512 window switches in my replica .... until I found out they were almst $200 a pair. A pair of leather seats was recently listed on eBay with a Buy It Now of $9000. The real Ferrari crowd has their own economy .... I can feel the tears when you nick a curb with a $7000 (or whatever they cost) set of wheels ....

The wheels aren't really that expensive. You can usually pick up a set with tires, used of course, for between 1500 and 2000. However, doesn't look like they are going to fit so I think I'll either wait until I find a set of 17" rims that will fit my car better. Or maybe I'll just stick with the original Chromodora's. They just look so dated though.....

Hi, You are looking around the Ferrari web-sites & ebay right ? They usually have a used parts section.. May want to post some pics of what you want & we could keep a eye out for you--or post one in the mall section... Good Luck....
