BMW 2 Series wheel fitment — F22/F23
Overview
The BMW 2 Series is a range of subcompact executive cars (C-segment) manufactured by BMW since 2014. It was created when BMW spun-off the 2-door models (coupé and convertible) from the BMW 1 Series into a separate series. The first generation started production in November 2013 as a rear-wheel-drive coupé (F22 model code) and convertible (F23 model code), produced alongside the F20 1 Series hatchback range in Leipzig, Germany. A year later, front-wheel drive variants including the Active Tourer compact MPV and Gran Tourer were introduced. In 2021, BMW released a second-generation rear-wheel-drive coupé (G42) as well as a fastback sedan variant called the Gran Coupé.

Start with the hub. The BMW 2 Series F22/F23 spec table gives the bolt pattern and bore; the second table is the aftermarket window for BMW 2 Series wheel fitment.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x120 |
| Centre bore | 72.6 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14 x 1.25 (bolts) |

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6J–8J | ET22–ET45 |
| Rear (staggered) | 7J–8.5J | ET33–ET45 |
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.
