Wheel fitment

[runner911]

Can anyone advise please ?

I currently run a 2008 Continental GT fitted with the original 19 inch split rim alloys .

I have the opportunity to buy a set of 21 inch genuine Bentley alloys from a facelift 2012 Continental GT .

The offset for both sets of wheels is 41 , but I am not sure if the wheel stud diameter for both cars would be the same.

Will the 21 inch alloys fit my car ?

Call dealer, as am sure a proper luxury car company is always glad to help their clients.

I doubt that anyone not making money on this deal will give you an opinion. The other question is as to whether these wheels with tyres on(?) will foul your wheel-arches. It must be worth asking the seller to let you drive across and offer a wheel up onto your car.

Do bear in mind that 21's will kerb even worse than your 19's, which might annoy the hell out of you.

If you fit 21 inch wheels you will have to maintain overall wheel diameter by fitting even lower profile tyres. These will provide a much harsher ride. You will need to tell your insurer that you are making this change, otherwise in the event of a mishap you could invalidate your insurance by running non-standard wheels and tyres.

And have fun lifting those wheels onto the hubs. They are heavy.

Check what the ET is, I would have thought they will fit - the Mulliner wheels were 21” and fitted from factory.

Are you a dealer or something?
You have made exactly this comment on other posts here.
Surely, this is what Pistonheads is about....asking like minded people for their input when you have a question.

Thanks for asking and no I have never worked for a Bentley dealer. For certain technical details I usually try to verify with the factory.
