I installed my new (to me) rims today, everything went well, no need for spacers or anything.
Pretty happy with the results!
Same size tires?

The OEM fronts are DB11 are 255/40-20 and on Rapide 245/40-20. How does the wider front tires effect performance?

I kept my Rapide tires on the new wheels. I have driven the car around 100 miles with the new setup, and no problem so far.
