BMW 3 Series wheel fitment — VII LCI G20/G21/G28
BMW 3 Series wheel fitment
BMW 3 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 3 Series VII LCI (G20/G21/G28) (2022–2024).
| 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–8.5J | ET12–ET45 |
| Rear (staggered) | 8J–9.5J | ET29–ET45 |
Go wider and the offset has to rise with it, about 8 to 10 ET per extra 1J, or the wheel pokes past the arch. The fit-check settles the exact offset and any spacer.
Overview
The seventh generation of the BMW 3 Series range consists of the BMW G20 (sedan version) and BMW G21 (wagon version, marketed as 'Touring') compact executive cars. The G20/G21 has been in production since mid-October 2018 with a facelift in July 2022. It is based on the Cluster Architecture (CLAR) platform featuring increased use of high-strength steel and aluminum, offering improved body rigidity and weight reduction compared to its predecessor. The G20 sedan and G21 Touring are assembled at various BMW plants globally, including Munich in Germany, Shenyang in China, San Luis Potosí in Mexico, Chennai in India, Rayong in Thailand, Jakarta in Indonesia, Kulim in Malaysia, Araquari in Brazil, and Chu Lai in Vietnam. The 3 Series Gran Turismo was discontinued for this generation.
