Brilliant OEM wheel Idea for Vantage...

The wheels are from the new DB9. They are 20x8.5 fronts, 20x11 rears. And the offsets are perfect and they come with 245/295 tire pirellis Pzeros stock (definitely better than the RE050A), but you could easily run 255/305s on that setup no problem.
If you look closely there do not appear to be spacers, those are the brake hub hats that are shaped like that. The offsets for the DB9/DBS are different so it pushes the wheels out further (lower offset) than on the vantage chassis.
The tire profiles are actually perfect, you just have to run a set of lowering springs to lower the car to minimize the wheel gap. I think I may have just found my next set of wheels

Does anyone know the exact offsets of the wheel. I found out the DBS wheels are 8.5" front @ 42mm and 11" rear at 54mm I believe. Can anyone confirm if these are similar? If so that perfectly explains why they do not need spacers.
For comparison my Forgestars were 9" @ 46mm fronts, 11" @ 55mm rear. So basically they are almost identical offsets within 1-2 mm each.

Please excuse me being a newbie and probably asking a very stupid question...
I've just bought a 2005 DB9 here in Hong Kong and I've asked AM and also asked a couple of those online companies who sell OEM rims and they all say that the rims I am looking at will not fit my car but they don't explain.
So do they mean they won't fit my car to the exact size as AM recommends? Because thats obvious they aren't the same. Or do they mean they physically will not fit?
Mine are 19" 235 front and 275 rear. The DBS/new DB9 wheels would be quite a bit wider and I understand that but would they physically fit?
The current V8V wheels are only 10mm wider than mine and same 19" so surely they would fit or is there something glaringly obvious I don't know about?
Thanks!
