F430/360 Challenge Wheels - Sizes/Offsets

[jezzaaa]

Hi all - I'm being lazy Does anyone know if the 360 challenge stradale wheels are the same sizes/offsets as the factory optioned ones for the F430?

I've seen the 599 ones on eBay advertised as ok for the F430 but I think they'll be completely wrong being 20" etc...

Yours in laziness...J.

Yes. The specifications are identical.

And it's a joke that someone advertised 599 wheels as suitable for a 360 or 430 given that the PCD is completely different.

Sounds like you found your F430?

Hi Maura - I've found several...but not yet pulled the trigger. It's a tough market for sellers at the moment....same 25 cars have been for sale for months on Autotrader...so I'm taking my time. You know how it is...the minute I commit, another one will come up better and cheaper!!

I've done something this afternoon, unexpectedly, that makes my question above irrelevant...and makes me have to change my answer to Maura earlier!

I've put a deposit down...on a car that already has challenge wheels! Woo hoo!!

I thought challenge wheels on the 360 were 18 inch, and the F430 were 19 inch ?

Completely different BBS wheel sizes regardless of the offset.

360 Challenge wheels were 18”. 360 CS wheels were 19” and identical in every dimension to the 430 wheels.

The OP was asking about the CS wheels.

100% correct. There is one difference between CS and F430 challenge wheels though, and that is the latter have a cut out on the inside of the wheel at the valve hole in order to house the TPMS sensors (if fitted).

Hey Batfoy...ok, if you insist...here she is....

Ahh, very nice! For some reason I had it in my mind that you were going for a Spider. Enjoy, when/where is your first trip?

Yeah I did consider a spider and for most cars I prefer a convertible...but I prefer the 430 as a coupe.

Re first trip, dunno yet. Won't be collecting it for a couple of weeks as I'm on holiday on Isle of Man at the moment. I'd really like to do NC500 in it, but suspect I'll have trouble justifying another week away from the family so soon, seeing as I'm here on my own doing the TT circuit every day!

Whatever you do, you’ll have a riot. Have fun!
