V8V and V12V Wheels

[kbird]

Are they interchangeable?

What are the respective sizes and offsets?

Thanks

Anyone?

I think I test drove a v8 with v12 wheels. It definitely had corsa's, as there was very little grip.

I have no idea what would be involved, the v12 bodywork is a subtly different shape though, so it could be quite a mission?

I recall a thread on here stating that V12 wheels / tyres won't fit a V8.

V12V body is the same as V8V
The difference is ride height and the clearance of the CCM's

Tyres and wheels are different sizes V8 smaller plus V12 wheels are lighter. don't you like the V12 wheels?

I had my Aston dealer try and fit V12 wheels on my 07 V8 and they would not fit, I think they said they rubbed on the suspension or something....

They fit but you have to put spacers on the rear wheels.

Thanks all, really helpful

I was thinking about fitting some HRE wheels as I'm not sure about the standard one's, although they are growing on me!

A well know wheel dealer told me V8 and V12 were the same wheel fitment which I thought was wrong and this is now confirmed

HRE's look good? http://timscribbles.com/2013/04/16/im-speeding-int...
