Can I run 295s without rubbing issues?

Hello there,

I just looked at the DBS setup and they come 245/295 from the factory. Anyone has this setup on their V8 Vantage and if yes, what tires are you running on? Thanks for the attention.

Try Tire Rack w/ this question. They have helped me in the past w/ other cars/tire sizes/spacing.

I was told 305s will fit with correct wheels

Thanks rmd,

I am running 275s on my OEM CSL M3 wheels. The factory setup was 255 and had no issues going up 2 sizes without changing wheels. I would go up to 245/295 on the Vantage if I could stay with the OEM wheels.

Not a bad idea to check with your dealer too. I went to 305's on my 911 and the dealer was hesitant due to impact on the traction control set up.

Thanks paragongja. I think the 997 911 Turbos are coming with factory 305s. I was looking at those for a couple of months before I pulled the trigger on the Vantage Have to tell you, the Porsche CPO program and 4 seats vs the 2... almost got me to the dark side LOL. But I am happy I chose the Aston.

SK:

Those back seats are not really back seat. ANd IMO you can't compare the 911 to the Vantage. It's apples to oranges, Feel safe and secure that you've made the right choice. Enjoy the ride!
