22 & 25 sounds a bit much to me but I'm sure they have set those lengths for a reason.......

I'd have a set if they weren't £500. Just can't bring myself to spend that on some bits of metal.

Always a mistake to look around the Larini website at what other parts they offer for the Stradale........

I have always thought the car looks slightly under wheeled compared to other cars I have owned, so seeing the the spacers on the site got me thinking?

Whats peoples thoughts on using spacers, Porsche offer them as a standard option on many of their cars?

Are you not concerned about potential warranty issues as your car is still so new? I'm not sure how it would go if you had a failed ABS sensor for example which involved having to change the wheel bearing. Just a thought.

I know what you mean about it being under wheeled and many who have fitted spacers to their GTSs would agree. I'm in two minds to be honest so will wait until I see yours fitted and then decide!

It's the one area that Maserati just can't get right on all GT models. The Stradale is better but they still sit too far under the arches so if it was me I would get some spacers.....but with Maserati challenging every warranty claim at the moment just be careful.......As I'm sure they will blame the spacers no matter what is wrong

Thinking about getting spacers on my GT. will I need longer bolts as well?

I believe that the spacers bolt to the hub into where your original bolt holes go, with bolts that come with the spacers and then your existing wheel bolts will then bolt into the new bolt holes on the spacers. I may be wrong though

I trust that this was fully explained with the utmost clarity

small details I know, but enough to stop me buying them:

- unsprung weight goes up quite a lot - handling worse
- suspension will "soften" due to the wheel center being further out - handling worse
- more stone chips along car
- not way Maserati designed the look

Having said that, if they were free, I'd probably try a set :)
