DBS wheels on a DB9

[Ocean53]

Does anyone know if the 10 spoke 20" with graphite will go on a db9 without any probs?

just check tyre sizes as thats were problems lie. But the alignment is the same

they are not the same, 19 inch as standard on the V8 Vantage and DB9, where as the DBS wheels are 20 inch and wider,centre stud pattern is the same,

Aston do not recommend fitting them due to clearance issues under extreme circumstances such as track days where the suspension could be fully depressed and the steering on lock with brakes applied forcing the body down could cause contact between tyre and body, obviously this could be potentially very dangerous, on saying this many people have had them with no contact problems with some fitted by the dealer network, so for normal driving even aggressively there should not be any issues,

price difference in the tyres for a full set will be about £300.00 more, that is for pirelli p zeros

there wont be an issue because as they are bigger wheels you just need to get different profile tyres to counteract it! with them being wider, it isnt much issue on these,check what J they are i.e how wide! tyre sizes can be altered as i said to help in all different ways.. to a limit!

please if you are going to give technical advice please submit all the facts as it is not just the j size as stated it is the offset as well that really matters, the only thing that is the same as the originals is the pcd (stud pattern)

here is a link to the dimensions etc for Aston Martin wheels

ok, but i ask if there is any need to go into so much detail,thats why i didnt,he asked if theyd fit, i basically answered that without trying to confuse somebody but i know in future to be more technical as not to upset other people.
p.s there was no need to mention the pcd thats why i didnt!
