BMW 3 Series wheel fitment — VI F30/F31/F34
Overview
The sixth generation of the BMW 3 Series, known as F30 (sedan), F31 (Touring), and F34 (Gran Turismo), was produced from October 2011 to 2019. This generation marked a significant shift with all models powered by turbocharged engines exclusively and the introduction of electric power steering. The F30 sedan, launched in February 2012, was followed by the Touring (F31) and Gran Turismo (F34). A long-wheelbase version (F35) was produced for the Chinese market. Notable changes included a facelift in 2016 introducing new engines and features such as LED headlights and revised suspension.

BMW 3 Series wheel fitment for the BMW 3 Series VI (F30/F31/F34) (2013–2016): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x120 |
| Centre bore | 72.6 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14 x 1.25 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 140 Nm |
| Seat type | tapered |

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6.5J–8.5J | ET24–ET45 |
| Rear (staggered) | 8J–10J | ET33–ET50 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8–10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
