I got interested because of searching for something a little bigger to go on the back of my Euro 928---it currently has 315/25/19's on the rear, but when I finish the body work/paint job, it will have enough room for the 355's.
Personally, I think your 355's wheels should have had another half to 3/4 inch taken out of them.....that way, the sidewalls would be straight up and down, instead of pulled out at the rim---just my .25 cents worth.
As I said, this is a great story to watch. I can't wait to see the finished project.
Maybe one day you'll bring it to one of Lone Star Region's Concours meets.....?
Good luck and congrats on your project.

Well after talking to the Pirelli Rep they said that the widest fit to still yield maximum performance was a 13.5" measurement from bead to bead which these wheels have.
If you have the clearance to run taller tires than 26" I'd go with MPS2's as the 345's are wider than my 355's, however they're just shy of 28" tall which won't fit into the fender.
I'll be sure to bring it to some of the Lone Star events when I'm in town, but I don't think the concours guys will appreciate the non-shiny paint, and customized everything. But who knows.
Glad you dig the project, and thanks for the kind words.
