DB11 wheels on Rapide?

Good morning, I am looking at getting new wheels for my 2010 Rapide, and I have set my eyes on a set of 20" wheels out of a DB11.
They're 20x9 ET48 for the front, 20x11 ET55 for the rear.
However, I can't make sure 100% that there will be enough clearance under the arches.
Has a fellow Rapide owner ever installed this kind of setup on his Rapide? Did that fit properly?
Thanks in advance for the help!

I thought the Rapide had a unique wheel setup that wasn't shared with other models?

Lug spacing may not be the same.

From what I understood, the bolt pattern is the same with the Vanquish (seems to be a straight installation) and the DB11 (I'd like to make sure of that prior to purchasing the wheels).
Or maybe the seller might be confused?

The information above (post 5) regarding the DB11 wheel bolt pattern diameter is incorrect. The DB11 uses a 5x128 pattern and a 75mm center bore. This I've verified. I own a DB11 and was looking at wheel spacers. I used info from this site to start, then verified with my actual wheel.

I am only commenting about the wheel bolt pattern dia, and not the offsets.

I do not know if the bolt pattern changes when the V8 is used, but highly doubt that.

Thank you.

Don't count out the Vanquish wheels from 2014-18. Mich better looking than the DB11 IMO.

Very close. The front wheels are a little narrower (8.5" to the 9" used on the DB11). Offsets a little different.

Don't know how it would work out on the Rapide, but on my DB11 I've increased tire sizes from stock

Fronts
Factory 255/40/20 and I went to 275/40/20
Rears
Factory 295/35/20 and I went 315/35/20

when I looked into this I was told the bolt pattern is different. I know the hub and bearing has a different part number from the DB9.

Hi @corveight

The Rapide and DB9 wheel bolt patterns are not the same. The Rapide has a 5x128mm pattern which is the same as that on a DB11. The DB9 has a different pattern than these models.

So, the answer is yes, you can mount DB11 wheels on a Rapide.
I installed my new (to me) rims today, everything went well, no need for spacers or anything.
Pretty happy with the results!
