Is it me, or does anybody else think the F355 wheels' could do with being moved out an inch or so to make then sit flush with the arches...?

Has this been done, and how does it affect the handling?

I'm new to this Ferrari owning lark, I'm used to bits falling off my TVR's! (joke BTW! They have all been ultra reliable. don't want to add to the bad reputation they've already got that we're trying to get rid of!

Thanks in advance!

I have a 355 Spider with wheel spacers on it that move out the wheels by about 15mm.Company called Hill engineering do them together with loads of other really well made items for F cars like skid plates (to protect the underneath of the front spoiler),chrome gear knobs etc.I've found the handling totally unaffected but the car looks miles better especially from the rear!

I have the same 15mm (all round) on my f355 B and its really does improve the look. They are made by Hill - very good quality.

No noticeable impact on handling (inlcuding track)

That's two votes for Hill Engineering!

Anybody got a contact name/number?

Thanks again for the replies.

I also think Scuderia Systems can sort you out with these...
