Purchasing a set of new wheel for my DBS, Factory is 8.5" wheel is 42 front and 11" wheel is 54 rear Vossen said 9" front at 32 and 11" rear at 30. seams like a lot, anyone ever change the offset? What to. thanks

 

Too much in the back, will stick out too far and won’t look good. Fronts are probably ok, but I’d personally go no less than 35 up to 40.

 

Edit: I didnt realize this was for a DBS. Please ignore my comment below. My comment was for a Vantage.

My specs are:
20 x 9 - ET 35
20 x 11 - ET 47

The above set up is as flush as you can get. Running a 20x11 in the rear with a ET30 offset would stick out wayy too much. I know because i test fitted my 11mm spacer with the above setup and it looked ridiculous.

 

Not sure what the ideal specs on a DBS, but I know people have taken DBS wheels and put on Vantage with no issues...but Vossen should know what they're doing especially if they've done other DBS before. If not, it's on them regardless if it doesn't fit.

 

Will they Fit

you can compare old wheels with new wheels and see the fitment difference

 

The outside lip of the front wheel would be 16.5mm or @5/8" farther out.
The outside of the rear wheel would be 24mm or just under 1" farther out
Tape a plumb line off the fender hanging straight down the middle of the OEM wheel to see the gap and you can get an idea how much wider it would visually look.
You also have to account for tire sizes as well since they can add a little more width as well

 

Yes was thinking the same process. Going to the car salon shop today to see what has been done to the DBS and measure the wheels like you said. grill is now black, side markers are smoke alone with the tail lights, fil m on complete front end. Just needs film applied to lower rockers and area around rear wheels and rear defuser. Than ceramic coating on outside and leather protective coating on leather seats. Will let you know the dem I come up with. Let's ALL be safe out there.

 

It’s a bad idea to put anything on your semi aniline seats. You clean them with mild soap and water.

 

thanks ,actually didn't know they where aniline leather , I will ask the owner of the shop where its at, Its an application that protects the seats from wearing the color off the seat when getting in and out of the car. I will check with them.

 

They said that the spray is not a cleaner and is safe for aniline leather, it is a protector to keep the color from wearing off and showing the affects of getting in and out of the car. Picking up the DBS by the weekend , added a few other items to the list. changed the grill to black to smooth out the front end look.
