BMW 1 Series wheel fitment — IV F70
BMW 1 Series wheel fitment
BMW 1 Series wheel fitment comes down to two things: the factory hub spec, and how far the aftermarket width and offset can move from it. Both are here for the BMW 1 Series IV (F70) (2024–2026).
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 66.6 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14 x 1.25 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 140 Nm |
| Seat type | tapered |
| Factory setup | staggered |
| TPMS | direct |
| Run-flat | Yes |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6.5J–8J | ET26–ET45 |
| Rear (staggered) | 8.5J–8.5J | ET32–ET42 |
Width and offset move together: roughly 8 to 10 ET more for every extra 1J keeps the wheel inside the arch. Final offset and any spacer come from the fit-check.
Overview
The BMW 1 Series (F70) is the fourth generation of subcompact executive hatchbacks from BMW, produced from July 2024 to present at the Leipzig Plant in Germany. It uses the UKL2 platform and comes exclusively as a five-door hatchback. Compared to its predecessor, it is slightly longer and taller but retains similar boot capacity. The exterior design is an evolution of the F40 model with notable features like LED taillights and contrast roof options. The interior has been completely redesigned with a BMW Curved Display featuring both digital instrument cluster and touchscreen infotainment system. All models come standard with 7-speed Steptronic automatic transmission, marking the first time the series does not offer manual transmission.

History & notable variants
The F70 was officially unveiled on June 4, 2024, and production began in July 2024 at BMW's Leipzig Plant, with a market launch scheduled for October 2024. Notable changes include dropping the 'i' suffix for petrol models to align with BMW’s strategy for electric vehicles and retaining diesel models with the 'd' suffix. The M135 variant features an Adaptive M Chassis and specific brake systems but is detuned in Europe due to emission standards.
