Can you fit Vantage V12 wheels to a V8 ???





Do you need spacers?


9.0"x19" offset 51
255/35/19 Tyres



11.0"x19" offset 68
295/30/19 Tyres

 

Ive already put DBS wheels on the car

They were:


8.5"x20" offset 42
245/35/20 Tyres


11.0"x20" offset 54
295/30/20 Tyres


Just looking at other options

 

want to know as well. the new v12 wheels look awesome

 

Ive heard they go straight on...


Ive heard you need a 20mm spacer!



Which is it?

 

Spacers not a good idea--they increase the load on the wheel bearings and increase rate of wear

 

you're putting 19" tires on 20" wheels? Or is that a typo?

 

Based on the wheel specs you put:
front wheels: stick out 5mm more on the outside, and 7mm less clearance inside
rear wheels: stick out 19mm more on the outside, and 19mm less clearance inside

rounded off the fractions of mm's. dunno about tires.

 

I read a post on pistonheads a while back (can't find the link at the moment) where someone mentioned the inner wheel arches of the V12 are more spacious to make room for the wider V12 wheels. It was Aston's official position not to recommend V12 wheels or DBS wheels for the V8 for this reason - they could foul on the inside of the wheel liner and / or outside because of the offset, and the change in width / stance could cause the car to behave unpredictably.

That being said, plenty of people put DBS wheels on the V8, but Aston still officially says "tires could foul" on either upgrade.

 

I'd think this is AML's stance from a legal point of view due to liability and whatnot (if there is rubbing or other damage, AML could potentially be held liable for "endorsing" the wheel swap). But the reality is that the V12V's wheels are just a different size like any other aftermarket wheel. There's nothing inherently special about them.


If someone wants to do the research, getting the overall dimension of the V12V's wheels/tires and comparing that to how much clearance is available including accounting for the new clearances (see my post above)... remember to turn the wheel lock-to-lock to check those clearances as well... a bit of legwork but might give an idea as to whether or not they'd fit.

 

Typo....








The DBS Wheels fit fine, but its just the difference between the offset


ET54


to


ET68


So its 14mm more inbound.... and will this cause and issue?

 

I have a set of HRE's that were made to fit my V12V. They are p43 tinted brushed. I kept them when I sold my car but I'm willing to part with them at a deal if anyone is interested. Send me a PM

 

Those would be mine had I not arranged another set of wheels just an hour ago.

 

Guess this is the place to do it

Y'all can make FS threads in the marketplace and stick a link in your signature blocks. That's a good way to cover your bases and get some exposure.

 

Anyone got any further Yes or No's to them fitting on a V8
