How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
Every gram of rotational mass on a supercar fights the acceleration, braking, and rotational inertia numbers the factory spent enormous engineering effort achieving. A forged wheel for the Aston Martin V8 Vantage holds the OE strength rating at meaningfully less weight, which is a real, measurable performance gain rather than a cosmetic one.
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage runs a 5x120.65 bolt pattern, 73.8mm center bore, and a F: 16x8.0J wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 17x8.5J ET15, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 18x9.5J ET12 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Aston Martin V8 Vantage OE Wheel Specs
The 1992 Aston Martin V8 Vantage (Supercar) uses a 5x120.65 bolt pattern with a 73.8mm center bore. Factory wheels are F: 16x8.0J R: 16x9.0J.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Preserves the factory-tuned ride and steering feel
- A mainstream size for this segment, keeping tire choice wide and prices reasonable
- Leaves full clearance for the stock brakes and suspension hardware
- Keeps handling predictable and consistent in everyday conditions
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Aston Martin V8 Vantage (1992) we drill the 5x120.65 pattern and cut the centre bore to 73.8mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.
Converting these ET figures to backspacing? Use the wheel offset and backspacing calculator.

Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: F 16x8.0J ET20 → ~5.29″ F backspacing, R 16x9.0J ET20 → ~5.79″ R backspacing
- Flush: 17x8.5J ET15 → ~5.34″ backspacing
- Max: 18x9.5J ET12 → ~5.72″ backspacing
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact Aston Martin spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Aston Martin V8 Vantage? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Aston Martin V8 Vantage: Specs by Model Year

| 2012 | 5x114.3 | 68.1 mm | 18x8J |
Check the model year before ordering: the specs change — bolt pattern 5x120.65 → 5x114.3 from 2005; center bore 73.8 mm → 68.1 mm from 2005.
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Aston Martin V8 Vantage (5x120.65, 73.8 mm Bore)
In our database, 25 other vehicle entries from 2 makes use exactly the same 5x120.65 bolt pattern and 73.8 mm center bore. Factory wheels from these cars bolt on and center on the hub without rings; offset and width still have to be checked.
5x120.65 is used by 1.6% of the vehicle pages in our English fitment guide (101 of 6,503); 25.7% of those also use a 73.8 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 73.8 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 73.8 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 74.1 mm | 74.1 → 73.8 mm |
| 76.1 mm | 76.1 → 73.8 mm |
| 78.1 mm | 78.1 → 73.8 mm |
| 84.1 mm | 84.1 → 73.8 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 73.8 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Aston Martin V8 Vantage use?
The 1992 Aston Martin V8 Vantage uses a 5x120.65 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Aston Martin V8 Vantage use?
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x120.65), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Aston Martin V8 Vantage?
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage's center bore is 73.8mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Aston Martin V8 Vantage?
Factory wheels on the Aston Martin V8 Vantage are F: 16x8.0J R: 16x9.0J.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Aston Martin V8 Vantage without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 18x9.5J at ET12 offset. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Aston Martin V8 Vantage?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 17x8.5J at ET15 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Aston Martin V8 Vantage.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Aston Martin V8 Vantage?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Aston Martin V8 Vantage?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 5.34" of backspacing.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Aston Martin V8 Vantage?
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage runs the same wheel size front and rear from the factory, so staggered fitment is not required. ANKUSI can still forge a staggered set (wider rear) on request if you want a more aggressive stance.
