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
With less structural stiffness from the missing roof, a convertible's suspension tuning leans more heavily on unsprung mass control. Forged construction keeps wheel weight down at the same strength rating, which is one less variable working against the Aston Martin DB7 Volante's chassis.
The Aston Martin DB7 Volante runs a 5x120.65 bolt pattern, 73.8mm center bore, and a F: 17x8.0J wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is F 18x8.5J ET32 / R 18x9.5J ET38, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Aston Martin DB7 Volante. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is F 19x9.0J ET28 / R 19x9.5J ET35 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Aston Martin DB7 Volante OE Wheel Specs
The 1997 Aston Martin DB7 Volante (Luxury Convertible) uses a 5x120.65 bolt pattern with a 73.8mm center bore. Factory wheels are F: 17x8.0J R: 17x8.0J.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with everyday fuel efficiency
- A widely used size in this segment, so tire and wheel availability stays strong
- Keeps unsprung weight low for stable, predictable handling
- Maintains clearance for the factory brake calipers and suspension components
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Aston Martin DB7 Volante (1997) 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.
The figures on this page are part of our open wheel fitment dataset — 10,093 vehicles, free to download, CC BY 4.0.
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: F 17x8.0J ET38 → ~6″ F backspacing, R 17x8.0J ET45 → ~6.27″ R backspacing
- Flush: F 18x8.5J ET32 → ~6.01″ F backspacing, R 18x9.5J ET38 → ~6.75″ R backspacing
- Max: F 19x9.0J ET28 → ~6.1″ F backspacing, R 19x9.5J ET35 → ~6.63″ R 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 DB7 Volante? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Aston Martin DB7 Volante (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 DB7 Volante use?
The 1997 Aston Martin DB7 Volante uses a 5x120.65 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Aston Martin DB7 Volante use?
The Aston Martin DB7 Volante 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 DB7 Volante?
The Aston Martin DB7 Volante'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 DB7 Volante?
Factory wheels on the Aston Martin DB7 Volante are F: 17x8.0J R: 17x8.0J.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Aston Martin DB7 Volante without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is F 19x9.0J ET28 / R 19x9.5J ET35. 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 DB7 Volante?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend F 18x8.5J ET32 / R 18x9.5J ET38 as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Aston Martin DB7 Volante.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Aston Martin DB7 Volante?
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 DB7 Volante?
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 6.01" backspacing up front and 6.75" in the rear.
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 DB7 Volante?
Yes — the Aston Martin DB7 Volante's factory and our recommended flush/max fitments already use staggered sizing (different width front and rear), and ANKUSI can forge matching staggered sets to your target offsets.
