Bolt-On or Stud & Nut — Which Is Your Aston Martin?

Aston Martin's current bonded-aluminium models (DB11, DB12, DBX and DBX707, plus the Valour and Rapide AMR) use conventional wheel bolts, and our spacers for these fit as a direct bolt-on with extended bolts supplied. Older models — DB9, Rapide, Vantage (2005–2017) and Virage — use a wheel stud rather than a threaded hub, so the spacer for these is a stud & nut conversion, not a simple bolt-on. Both are correct, factory-appropriate fitments for their respective model — just different by design, not one being "better" than the other.

Vantage owners — check your generation

The 5×114.3 stud kit covers the original V8/V12 Vantage (2005–2017) only. The New Vantage (2018–present) is a completely different platform and isn't yet covered by either product on this page — see Coming Soon below. Ordering the wrong one won't fit at all, not just poorly.

Carbon ceramic brakes — check before ordering the stud kit

If your Aston Martin has factory-fitted carbon ceramic brakes (CCB), the 5×114.3 stud & nut kit is not compatible. This affects any of the stud-platform models above where CCB was a factory option. Message us your model and spec before ordering if you're not sure whether your car has CCB fitted.

Thickness guide

Choose Your Spacer Thickness

Available thicknesses differ between the two specifications — the stud & nut conversion currently goes up to 15mm, the bolt-on kit up to 20mm.

Thickness Available on Best for
12.5mm Both specifications Subtle stance improvement, factory-correct look
15mm Both specifications Most popular — meaningful stance improvement
20mm 5×128 bolt-on only Flush fitment on DB11/DB12/DBX

Why Brightstone Engineering

Built for Aston Martin. Made in Britain.

Hubcentric precision
Bored to 75.1mm or 68.1mm to match your Aston Martin hub exactly. The hub carries lateral load — not the fasteners. No vibration, no centering rings required.
Correct hardware included
The 5×128 kit includes extended wheel bolts. The 5×114.3 kit includes a full stud & nut conversion. The right hardware for the right car, as standard.
UK CNC machined
Every spacer machined from 6082-T6 billet aluminium in our UK workshop. Not imported, not relabelled — made to tight tolerances for performance fitment.
Before you order

Common Aston Martin Wheel Spacer Mistakes

01
Ordering the wrong specification for your generation
DB11/DB12/DBX use 5×128 bolt-on. DB9/Rapide/Vantage (2005-2017)/Virage use 5×114.3 stud & nut. These are different platforms with different hardware — always confirm your model and year before ordering.
02
Not checking for carbon ceramic brakes
If your car has factory carbon ceramic brakes, the 5×114.3 stud kit isn't compatible. Check before ordering — this isn't a fit-poorly situation, it's a doesn't-fit situation.
03
Assuming New Vantage is covered by the old Vantage kit
The New Vantage (2018+) is a different platform to the 2005-2017 V8/V12 Vantage. It isn't covered by the current 5×114.3 stud kit — see Coming Soon.
04
Buying universal, non-hubcentric spacers
Universal spacers don't locate properly on the hub, which often causes vibration and uneven loading. Always use spacers hubcentric to your specific Aston Martin.
05
Skipping the re-torque check
Wheel bolts or nuts should always be re-checked after the first 50–100 miles to confirm the spacer has fully seated and clamping force is maintained.
The good news

Every one of these is avoidable. Confirm your generation, check for CCB, choose correctly specified hardware, and re-torque after fitting — Aston Martin wheel spacers are a safe, reliable modification when done properly.

Installation

Fitting Aston Martin Wheel Spacers

01
Confirm your model, generation and brake spec
Check whether your Aston Martin is bolt-on (DB11/DB12/DBX) or stud & nut (DB9/Rapide/old Vantage/Virage), and confirm you don't have factory carbon ceramic brakes if ordering the stud kit.
02
Clean the hub face
Remove any dirt, corrosion or debris. The spacer must sit perfectly flat against the hub for correct hubcentric seating.
03
Fit the correct hardware
5×128 kits: refit the wheel using the supplied extended bolts. 5×114.3 kits: fit the extended studs through the spacer into the hub, then refit the wheel using the supplied nuts.
04
Torque in a star pattern
Use a calibrated torque wrench in a star pattern to the manufacturer's specification. Do not use an impact gun for final tightening.
05
Re-torque after 50–100 miles
Re-check torque after the first drive to confirm the assembly has fully seated and clamping load is maintained.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my Aston Martin use bolts or a stud & nut conversion?
DB11, DB12, DBX and DBX707 use conventional bolts. DB9, Rapide, Vantage (2005–2017) and Virage use a stud & nut conversion. If you're unsure, message us your model and we'll confirm before you order.
Will the stud kit work with carbon ceramic brakes?
Not on cars where CCB was a factory option — the stud & nut kit isn't compatible in that case. Message us your model and spec to confirm before ordering.
What thickness spacers are available?
The 5×114.3 stud kit is available in 12.5mm and 15mm. The 5×128 bolt-on kit is available in 12.5mm, 15mm and 20mm.
Are Aston Martin wheel spacers safe?
Yes, when correctly specified for your model and hardware type, installed properly, and re-torqued after the first drive. Hubcentric spacers locate on the hub register — the hub carries lateral load rather than the fasteners.
Do wheel spacers affect wheel alignment?
No — properly fitted hubcentric spacers don't change camber, caster or toe, since they don't alter any suspension geometry; they simply move the wheel further out along the existing hub axis. It's still worth a quick geometry check after any modification.
What is the guarantee?
All Brightstone spacers carry a lifetime guarantee covering materials and manufacturing defects. UK-made — if there is an issue with the part, we stand behind it.
Legal & MOT (UK)

The MOT test doesn't prohibit wheel spacers directly — it checks that wheels and tyres don't protrude beyond the bodywork. Correctly sized spacers that keep the wheel within the arch aren't an MOT concern on that basis. As with any modification, you should declare fitted spacers to your insurer. This is general guidance, not a substitute for checking your specific policy or vehicle requirements.
