Best Vantage 20" wheel/tire size combo

I have searched the forum at length and couldn't really find the best answer regarding sizing and look for 20"wheels/tires. I have seen 20's with lowered springs but I not interested in dropping the car....


What I am looking for is this forum's opinion on what the best 20" wheel/tire combo would be....one that fills the wheel wells the best as well as optimizes the offset.....


So if I could get your best opinions it would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance...


Rear wheel width, offset, tire size
Front wheel width,offset, tire size


thanks guys!

20" Modulare

I really like the 20" Modulare's I have on my 09 Vantage... did not negatively effect the ride quality from stock... same as on the blue example on the Modulare web site:

http://www.modularewheels.com/galler...Aston%20Martin

I bought mine used from the same Vantage as in the photo, so Modulare would have the specs. The tire size is 245/35zr20 front and 295/30zr20 rear

My post #12 in this thread has some resources for you

https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ires-work.html

Remember that wheel offset is the same regardless of rim diameter. Ie a +56 sticks out the same distance from the hub if its a 17 or 29" rim. The variables are rim width and tire section.

Use the wheel tire calculator to compare different rim offset, width, and tire section numbers to an "ideal" fit (to my eye, the doublelow7 HREs in the above post are the ideal)

I'm running Forge Star 20x11R +56 and 20x9.5F +35. Tires are 305R and 255F.


Fitment is perfect for me.

I had 20 inches on my Vantage and I do not recommend it! The handling is much worse! It's good to show, not to ride. The best ratio is 19 inches with 305/30/19 (rear tires)

I think it has to do with wheel weight and tire type because i was surprised on mine it did not harm ride or handling

I see a new Mustang parked behind the Vantage. Could you tell us about it and how it compares to the Vantage?
