Will DBS wheels fit on a 05 DB9?
 
Curious if anyone knows if a set of DBS wheels will fit on a 05 DB9?

Thanks

they should fit up no problem Dan...same chassis and hubs and spacial accomodations. You may like to double check with an AM tech. Maybe Irish can chyme in.

Thanks man! Hopefully he will chime in and verify.

I had a set of DBS 20" wheels on my 2007 V8V. They fit great.

They should fit fine, and there are tons of good deals out there. Lets see pics when you get a set.

I thought DBS wheels won't fit, because the wheel lug pattern is different

karlfranz 02-18-2013 11:26 PM

^^^^ same pattern. They fit just fine.

Thanks guys! Anyone know the preferred tire size I should run with these for a DB9?

Just make sure you are happy with the rears sticking an inch farther out, as compared with the stock wheels, before you take the plunge (fronts come out only 1/3 of an inch)

Keep in mind that these guys with Vantages have a lot more room in the back to pull the wheels out in the first place since they are tucked in quite a bit as compared to the DB9.

Thats the new Vanquish and all Rapide's..they are different from DB9/S and v8v's..

I believe there was only a problem with sticking V12V wheels on a V8V, think the rear would hit the shock and a 10mm spacer was required..

I know DB9 and DBS have different rear lower control arms for all years, also the upper arms for DB9 was changed in 2012 to use the DBS version, so I'm guessing the upper was also different on early model DB9's..it's very possible you might have the same issue as V12V and V8V have with the shock damper in the way...I've never done it with DBS to DB9, I know DB9 to DBS doesn't work though 100%, the caliper gets in the way on DBS..but that doesn't help much

For what it is worth, I confirm fitting V12 wheels on a 4.3L V8 calls for spacers at the rear. 10mm are a little tight, and 20mm is the "recommended" size to be safe with suspension fouling

Just looked up the stock size of my 2009 DBS, found 2 different offsets ,one was 20x8.5 by 35 offset with 114.5 lug pattern rear 20x11 by 25 offset.
the other sight said front 42 offset rear 54 offset, can anyone tell me the factory correct info, looking and another set of rims , thanks and be safe

I recall +45F/+50R and +42F/+54R for DBS.
DBS had 2 different wheel options (with multiple finishes), I'm not sure which design had the mentioned offset combos but your splitting hairs to match 100%.
High doubts on +35/+25...that's too extreme. The DBS wheels have been fitted on DB9. The DB9 stock rear is 9.5 with +60, fitting a +25 rear would stick out the wheel past wings

Stucat 01-25-2021 12:25 PM

the sight was wheeloffset.net, had the f at 35 and r at 25, maybe it was 52? I know I am a little backwards sometimes, ask my wife, my kids and who could forget our employees. thanks for the info.

DBS is 42F/54R. That’s the only factory offset.
