Ferrari Mailing List: Re: [NFC] Porsche news which could benefit some classic Ferrari owners

[Fellippe Galletta (fellippe.galletta]

Peter,

I agree with the huge tires on older cars.

It depends mostly on the way the wheels come off. I can't get behind a 288 GTO/F40 style wheel on a 308, but it's ok to me on a 512 Boxer. A BB's rear tirewells could accommodate bigger tires to a point and still come off ok to me.

No hard and fast formula....you just know it when you see it.

The early Porsches tended to use small-ish sized tires, but maybe the '70s/'80s era Ferraris could benefit (?).

If there's one thing I hate, is when guys put enormous wheels on older cars. It looks so out-of-character:
