20 inch wheels

I'm considering going from 19 to 20 inch wheels basically because the wheel I'm considering only comes in 20. I have a 2006 DB 9. Anyone running 20 inch wheels? If so any fitment, rubbing, etc issues?
TIA

Bankswood, I have a set of 20's ( Michelin's ) I run from time to time on my 2007 DB 9. No fitment issues at all. Make sure the wheel hub / off set of the wheels you buy is the correct size. I did have to use a different lug nut for my wheels. Speed odometer is off about 2MPH.

When you moved to the 20” wheels did the ride quality suffer at all?

I contemplated trying 20” wheels but was told that the ride gets a lot bumpier.

Thanks.

No.
I believe the tires make the difference in the ride. I have newer Michelins on the 20's. My 19's actually are a little stiffer, thus bumpier, due to age. I plan to replace the 19's by the summer. A lot of Astons don't see a lot of miles each year so Astons with 7 or 8 year old tires are not uncommon. Older tires with low miles may have great tread but the sidewalls become stiff and effect the ride in my opinion.
