Fitting wheels on a Aston Martin V12 Vantage axe avant
A Aston Martin V12 Vantage axe avant (2005–2017) uses a 5x114.3 or 5x128 PCD and a centre bore of 68.1 or 75.1 mm.
Any wheel must match the vehicle's PCD exactly: there is no tolerance, unless you use a PCD adapter.
Centre bore: the wheel must have a centre bore of 68.1 mm or more. If it is larger (as with most aftermarket wheels), add a hub centric ring wheel centre bore → 68.1 mm.
Offset: the original is ET51. Compare your future wheel with the offset calculator (your vehicle is already selected) to see how many millimetres further in or out it will sit.
Fixings: thread M14x2.00, tightened to 180 Nm. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.
Tyres: original fitment is 235/40R19, 275/35R21. For another size, check the diameter difference with the equivalence calculator (under 3 % recommended).

Vehicles with the same PCD and centre bore
Same 5x114.3 PCD and same 68.1 mm centre bore: wheels from these vehicles bolt on and centre on a Aston Martin V12 Vantage axe avant without rings. Offset, width, diameter and caliper clearance still need checking.
These vehicles also use 5x114.3 but with a different centre bore: their wheels need a hub centric ring if their centre bore is larger than 68.1 mm, and will not fit if it is smaller.
What is the PCD of a Aston Martin V12 Vantage axe avant?
A Aston Martin V12 Vantage axe avant (2005–2017) can have a 5x114.3 or 5x128 PCD depending on the version: check on an original wheel.

The centre bore (hub diameter) of a Aston Martin V12 Vantage axe avant is 68.1 or 75.1 mm. A wheel with a larger centre bore is fitted with a hub centric ring that brings it down to the hub diameter. A wheel with a smaller centre bore cannot be fitted.
What offset (ET) for a Aston Martin V12 Vantage axe avant?
The recorded original offset is ET51 depending on the version and wheel size. A lower ET pushes the wheel outwards, a higher ET pulls it inwards: check wheel well and caliper clearance before making any change.

With the same PCD (5x114.3) and the same centre bore (68.1 mm), these include: Aston Martin DBS axe arrière, Aston Martin DBS axe avant, Aston Martin V12 Vantage axe arrière, Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Offset, width and rim diameter still need checking for each vehicle.
