Tips on wheel/tire/drop configuration for a 2013 V8V
20 inch on 09 and 15 GT
Below is the before and after 20 spoke 19" to 20" Modulare with Pilot Super Sports. The ride WAS fine on the 2015 GT which I suspect has the same setup as my new GT vs. your V8S (or similar), until I replaced the air with nitrogen - then the ride became considerably harsher (will go back to air in the spring).
What a beautiful car! I love your setup! Thanks for the input Montana107. I see you went with the HRE P40S? Beautiful! I don't have a Vantage S, but I have the sports pack and I will be going with full coilovers.
Q: Why wouldn't you go with 20" again? Is it only due to tire availability?
Q: If you don't mind, can you post your specs on the configurations? Offsets, how much of a drop, what brand and aspect ratio on tires, etc.

I would not go with 20's again as I believe the 19's are more functional with more tire sidewall and will be lighter as well - Mine is not a daily driver but if it was I would definitely go with 19's - After putting on the 20's I think the 19's look better as the 20's are just too much wheel with rubber bands on them... To me the Pirelli has a more rounded sidewall than the PSS and contributes more to the awful rubber band look - Just my taste - my 19's will be track wheels and might find some additional time on the car
Fronts are 20x9 et42 with Pirelli P-Zero Nero 255/30
Rears are 20x11 et52 with Pirelli P-Zero Nero 305/25
I am not sure what the drop turned out to be as I did not measure it at the factory ride hight - When I do coilovers i plan to raise it 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch
No sport package, the wheels were changed a few years ago after a couple of the original 19-inch 7-spoke wheels were destroyed by potholes. The car rides and handles great the way it is set up now, but I have to be careful not to scrape the front lip.
