What's included

In every kit

2× hubcentric wheel spacers — bored to 68.1mm, in your chosen thickness

10× extended wheel studs — correct thread for your vehicle, with the threaded part extended by your wheel spacer's thickness. We make every effort to send the correct studs and nuts, but you must check them against the studs and nuts on your car before fitting — thread, seat and threaded length. See bolt checks below.

10× chrome wheel nuts — matched to your new studs' thread, ready to fit straight onto the kit.

Before we dispatch: Once the order has been placed, we will email to confirm the model, make and year of the car to ensure that the studs and nuts are correct before dispatch.

Before you fit — your responsibility

Check your studs and nuts before fitting

We make every effort to send the correct studs and nuts for your vehicle, but vehicles vary by model year, market, trim and previous modifications — we can’t see what is fitted to your car. It is the responsibility of the buyer and whoever fits these parts to check every stud and nut against the car before use. Do not fit any stud or nut you have not checked, even if it came from us.

Before we dispatch: Once the order has been placed, we will email to confirm the model, make and year of the car to ensure that the studs and nuts are correct before dispatch.

Check the studs and nuts on your car.Remove one wheel nut and note the stud thread size and pitch, stud length, and the nut’s seat type.
Compare them with the parts you’ll fit.The replacement studs must match your originals’ thread, pitch and hub fitment, and their threaded part must be longer than your originals’ by the thickness of the spacer you’ve bought. The nuts must match the stud thread and your wheel’s seat. What is the seat? It’s the shape of the underside of the nut — the part that presses against your wheel, usually cone-shaped (“conical”) or rounded (“ball” or “radius”). Hold an old nut next to a new one and check the undersides are the same shape.
Confirm full thread engagement.Each nut must engage its stud by at least as much thread as your original nut did without a spacer — never less. What is thread engagement? It’s how much of the stud’s thread the nut is actually screwed onto — this is what holds your wheel on. Simple check: when you take off an original nut, count how many full turns it takes to come off once it’s loose. After fitting, each new nut must take at least that many full turns to wind on by hand before it reaches the wheel. Fewer turns means less thread holding the wheel on — do not drive the car. Once every nut is on, tighten them to your vehicle manufacturer’s specified torque setting using a torque wrench — check your owner’s handbook or a main dealer for the correct figure for your car.
If anything doesn’t match, don’t fit it.Contact us with photos and measurements before fitting and we’ll sort it out.

Fitting should be done by a competent person or a professional garage. Re-check all wheel nuts after the first 50–100 miles. Brightstone Engineering cannot accept responsibility for problems caused by fitting studs or nuts that have not been checked against the vehicle as described above.

Precision CNC-machined Aston Martin wheel spacers for the DB9, Rapide, V8 Vantage, V12 Vantage and Virage. These hubcentric track widening spacers are engineered in the UK from aerospace-grade 6082-T6 billet aluminium to the exact 5×114.3 (5x114.3) PCD and 68.1mm centre bore specification - delivering a measurably wider stance, corrected wheel offset, and a flush fitment that fills the arches without compromise to refinement or safety.

Every pair is bored to exactly 68.1mm so the spacer's spigot engages the hub register precisely, eliminating vibration at source. Supplied with extended press-fit wheel studs and chrome M14×1.5 nuts - installation requires pressing out the OEM studs and fitting the supplied extended studs, which are 15mm longer than stock to maintain correct thread engagement through the spacer.

Available in 12.5mm, 15mm, 20mm and 30mm. Need a specific thickness? Contact us.

This listing has two fitment types.
12.5mm and 15mm – slip-on. The OEM wheel studs are pressed out and longer press-in studs are fitted through the spacer; the wheel then mounts on the extended studs.
20mm and 30mm – bolt-on. The adapter bolts directly to the hub with the supplied fixings, then the wheel mounts on the adapter’s own pressed-in studs. The car’s original wheel studs are left in place.

Brightstone Engineering Kit - What's Included:

2 × hubcentric wheel spacers (15mm)
10 × extended press-fit wheel studs (15mm longer than OEM)
10 × chrome M14×1.5 wheel nuts

Fitment:

These Aston Martin 5×114.3 (5x114.3) wheel spacers are designed specifically for VH platform vehicles with 5×114.3 PCD (pitch circle diameter), 68.1mm hub bore (centre bore), and a stud-and-nut wheel fastener system. DB9 wheel spacers, Rapide wheel spacers, V8 Vantage wheel spacers, V12 Vantage wheel spacers and Virage wheel spacers are all covered by this kit — spanning Aston Martin Lagonda's full VH platform grand tourer range built at Gaydon, including V8, V12, Roadster and Volante variants.

Installation requires pressing out the OEM studs and fitting the supplied extended press-fit studs - 15mm longer than stock to maintain correct thread engagement through the spacer and wheel. Chrome M14×1.5 nuts are included.

Not compatible with the DB11, DB12, DBX or DBX707 — those models use a bolt-through-wheel system with M14×1.5 hardware and a different 5×128 bolt pattern. Not compatible with the new Vantage (2018+) which also uses a bolt system. See our Aston Martin 5x128 75.1mm Spacers here.

Aston Martin DB9 — Coupé and Volante (2004–2016)
Aston Martin Rapide — all variants including Rapide S (2010–2020)
Aston Martin V8 Vantage — Coupé and Roadster (2005–2017)
Aston Martin V12 Vantage — Coupé and Roadster (2009–2018)
Aston Martin Virage — Coupé and Volante (2011–2012)

Not compatible with carbon ceramic brakes.
These spacers will not fit any Aston Martin equipped with the carbon ceramic brake option (CCB / CCM / carbon ceramic matrix) — whether specified from factory or retrofitted. The carbon ceramic caliper and disc package will not clear the spacer and wheel fitment. If your car has carbon ceramic brakes, do not order this kit. Contact us first if you are not certain which brakes your car has.

All models above share 5×114.3 PCD, a 68.1mm hub bore and the VH-platform press-in stud and M14×1.5 nut wheel fitment. See the Installation section below for the stud and nut checks required before fitting. Not compatible with any car fitted with carbon ceramic brakes (CCB / CCM). Always confirm your car's exact specification and check the studs and nuts against your car before fitting.

This kit is for VH-platform cars with the factory press-in stud-and-nut wheel fitment. It is not for the DB11, DB12, DBX, DBX707 or the 2018-on Vantage, which use a bolt-through-wheel system on a 5×128 pattern — see the 5×128 kit here. If you're unsure which system your car uses, contact us before ordering.

Installation:

Professional fitting is strongly recommended. The supplied extended studs are press-fit - OEM studs must be removed and the new studs pressed into the hub using a suitable press or hub nut method before fitting the spacer. Do not hammer studs into place.

Professional fitting strongly recommended — the extended studs are pressed into the hub. Before fitting, you must check the studs and nuts against your car.

Check the studs. The supplied studs must match your originals' thread and pitch, and their threaded part must be longer than your originals' by the thickness of the spacer you've bought.
Check the nuts. Each nut must engage its stud by at least as much thread as your original nut did without a spacer.

What is the seat? It's the shape of the underside of the nut — the part that presses against your wheel, usually cone-shaped ("conical") or rounded ("ball" or "radius"). It must match the holes in your wheel; hold an old nut next to a new one and check the undersides are the same shape.

We make every effort to send the correct parts, but it is the buyer's and installer's responsibility to verify them before use.

Never use an impact gun, and re-check all wheel nuts after the first 50–100 miles.

Critical: Always ensure the same size wheel nut is used across all five positions on each wheel. Never mix 21mm and 22mm wheel nuts on the same vehicle - mixing nut sizes is a safety hazard.

Each wheel nut must engage its stud by at least as much thread as your original nut did without a spacer — never less.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are wheel spacers safe on an Aston Martin DB9 or Vantage?

Yes, provided they are hubcentric, correctly specified, and fitted with studs and nuts you have checked against your originals and that achieve full thread engagement. A hubcentric spacer engages the hub register directly so the hub carries the load, not the studs. Our spacers are machined to OEM tolerances and supplied with extended press-fit studs and chrome M14×1.5 nuts for the VH platform.

Will wheel spacers void my Aston Martin warranty?

Fitting aftermarket components can affect warranty coverage on modified parts, but does not automatically void your entire vehicle warranty under UK consumer law. Most VH platform cars are now outside their original warranty period. We recommend retaining installation records regardless.

What size wheel spacers should I fit to my DB9 or Vantage?

We offer 12.5mm and 15mm as slip-on spacers, and 20mm and 30mm as bolt-on adapters. 12.5mm and 15mm give a subtle-to-noticeable track increase on standard or lightly lowered cars. 20mm and 30mm are for a more aggressive stance or to clear wider aftermarket wheels — because they bolt to the hub rather than relying on longer studs, they suit the larger offsets.

Do I need a press to fit these spacers?

Yes. The supplied extended studs are press-fit items — the OEM studs need to be removed and the new studs pressed into the hub before the spacer is fitted. This requires either a hydraulic press or the hub nut press-in method. This is one of the reasons we strongly recommend professional installation for this fitment.

Do I need to check the studs and nuts before fitting?

Yes — and this is the buyer's and installer's responsibility. We make every effort to send the correct studs and nuts, but before fitting you must compare them against the studs and nuts currently on your car: thread size and pitch must match, the threaded part of the new studs must be longer than your originals' by the thickness of the spacer you've bought, and each nut must engage its stud by at least as much thread as your original nut did without a spacer. Never use an impact gun. If anything doesn't match, don't fit them — contact us first.

What is the difference between hubcentric and lug-centric spacers?

A hubcentric spacer has a precision-machined bore matching your hub diameter — 68.1mm in this case — so the hub centres the wheel and carries the lateral load. A lug-centric spacer relies on the studs to centre the wheel, which can cause vibration and places additional stress on the fasteners. All Brightstone spacers are hubcentric.

What is the difference between the slip-on and bolt-on sizes?

The 12.5mm and 15mm are slip-on spacers: they sit over longer press-in studs that replace the OEM studs, and the wheel mounts on those. The 20mm and 30mm are bolt-on adapters: the adapter is first bolted to the hub with the supplied fixings, then the wheel mounts on studs pressed into the adapter itself. The bolt-on design keeps full thread engagement at the larger thicknesses and does not disturb the car’s original studs.

Will these fit a car with carbon ceramic brakes?

No. These spacers are not compatible with any Aston Martin fitted with the carbon ceramic brake option (CCB / CCM). The carbon ceramic caliper and disc package will not clear the spacer and wheel fitment. If your car has carbon ceramic brakes, do not order this kit — contact us and we will advise.

Are these compatible with the DB11, DB12 or new Vantage?

No. The DB11 and DB12 use a 5×128 bolt pattern with M14×1.5 bolt-through-wheel hardware. The new Vantage (2018+) also uses a bolt system. See our 5x128 Aston Martin wheel spacer here.
